Genesis 47:14-18
141Joseph gathered all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan for the grain which they bought, and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.
15When the money was all spent in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph 2and said, “Give us 3food, for 4why should we die in your presence? For our money 5is gone.”
16Then Joseph said, “Give up your livestock, and I will give you food for your livestock, since your money 6is gone.”
17So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them 7food in exchange for the horses and the 8flocks and the herds and the donkeys; and he 9fed them with 10food in exchange for all their livestock 11that year.
18When that year was ended, they came to him the 12next year and said to him, “We will not hide from my lord that our money is all spent, and the 13cattle are my lord’s. There is nothing left 14for my lord except our bodies and our lands.
