141JosephH3130 gatheredH3950 allH3605 the moneyH3701 that was foundH4672 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 and in the landH776 of CanaanH3667 for the grainH7668 whichH834 they boughtH7666, and JosephH3130 broughtH935 the moneyH3701 into Pharaoh’sH6547 houseH1004.

15When the moneyH3701 was allH8552 spentH8552 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 and in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, allH3605 the EgyptiansH4714 cameH935 to JosephH3130 2and saidH559, “GiveH3051 us 3foodH3899, for 4whyH4100 should we dieH4191 in your presenceH5048? For our moneyH3701 5is goneH656.”

16Then JosephH3130 saidH559, “GiveH3051 up your livestockH4735, and I will giveH5414 you food for your livestockH4735, sinceH518 your moneyH3701 6is goneH656.”

17So they broughtH935 their livestockH4735 to JosephH3130, and JosephH3130 gaveH5414 them 7foodH3899 in exchange for the horsesH5483 and the 8flocksH6629 and the herdsH1241 and the donkeysH2543; and he 9fedH5095 them with 10foodH3899 in exchange for allH3605 their livestockH4735 11that yearH8141.

18When that yearH8141 was endedH8552, they cameH935 to him the 12nextH8145 yearH8141 and saidH559 to him, “We will not hideH3582 from my lordH113 that our moneyH3701 is allH8552 spentH8552, and the 13cattleH4735H929 are my lord’sH113. There is nothingH3808 leftH7604 14for my lordH113 exceptH1115H518 our bodiesH1472 and our landsH127.
