Genesis 47:18-20

18When that yearH8141 was endedH8552, they cameH935 to him the 1nextH8145 yearH8141 and saidH559 to him, “We will not hideH3582 from my lordH113 that our moneyH3701 is allH8552 spentH8552, and the 2cattleH4735H929 are my lord’sH113. There is nothingH3808 leftH7604 3for my lordH113 exceptH1115H518 our bodiesH1472 and our landsH127. 19WhyH4100 should we dieH4191 before your eyesH5869, bothH1571 we and our landH127? BuyH7069 us and our landH127 for 4foodH3899, and we and our landH127 will be slavesH5650 to PharaohH6547. So giveH5414 us seedH2233, that we may liveH2421 and not dieH4191, and that the landH127 may not be desolateH3456.”

20So JosephH3130 boughtH7069 allH3605 the landH127 of EgyptH4714 for PharaohH6547, for 5everyH376 EgyptianH4714 soldH4376 his fieldH7704, becauseH3588 the famineH7458 was severeH2388 upon them. Thus the landH776 becameH1961 Pharaoh’sH6547.
