Genesis 47:13-25

13Now thereH369 wasH369 noH369 1foodH3899 in allH3605 the landH776, becauseH3588 the famineH7458 was veryH3966 severeH3515, so that 2the landH776 of EgyptH4714 and the landH776 of CanaanH3667 languishedH3856 becauseH4480H6440 of the famineH7458. 14And 3JosephH3130 collectedH3950 allH3605 the moneyH3701 that was foundH4672 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 and in the landH776 of CanaanH3667 in payment for the grainH7668 whichH834 they boughtH7666, and JosephH3130 broughtH935 the moneyH3701 into Pharaoh’sH6547 houseH1004. 15When the moneyH3701 wasH8552 allH8552 spentH8552 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 and in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, allH3605 the EgyptiansH4714 cameH935 to JosephH3130 sayingH559, “GiveH3051 us 4foodH3899, for 5whyH4100 should we dieH4191 in your presenceH5048? For our moneyH3701 isH656 6goneH656.” 16Then JosephH3130 saidH559, “GiveH3051 up your livestockH4735, and I will giveH5414 you food for your livestockH4735, sinceH518 your moneyH3701 isH656 7goneH656.” 17So they broughtH935 their livestockH4735 to JosephH3130, and JosephH3130 gaveH5414 them 8foodH3899 in exchange for the horsesH5483 and the 9flocksH6629 and the herdsH1241 and the donkeysH2543; and he 10fedH5095 them with 11foodH3899 in exchange for allH3605 their livestockH4735 12that yearH8141. 18But when that yearH8141 endedH8552, they cameH935 to him the 13nextH8145 yearH8141 and saidH559 to him, “We will not hideH3582 from my lordH113 the factH3588 that our moneyH3701 isH8552 allH8552 spentH8552, and the 14livestockH4735H929 are my lord’sH113. There is nothingH3808 leftH7604 15for 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 16foodH3899, and we and our landH127 will be slavesH5650 to PharaohH6547. So giveH5414 us seedH2233, so 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 17everyH376 EgyptianH4714 soldH4376 his fieldH7704, becauseH3588 the famineH7458 was severeH2388 upon them. So the landH776 becameH1961 Pharaoh’sH6547. 21As for the peopleH5971, he relocatedH5674 them to the citiesH5892 from one endH7097 of Egypt’sH4714 borderH1366 to the otherH7097. 22OnlyH7534 the landH127 of the priestsH3548 he did not buyH7069, becauseH3588 the priestsH3548 had an allotmentH2706 from PharaohH6547, and they 18livedH398 offH398 the allotmentH2706 whichH834 PharaohH6547 gaveH5414 them. ThereforeH5921H3651, they did not sellH4376 their landH127. 23Then JosephH3130 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, “BeholdH2005, todayH3117 I have purchasedH7069 you and your landH127 for PharaohH6547; nowH1887, here is seedH2233 for you, and you may sowH2232 the landH127. 2419At the harvestH8393 you shall giveH5414 a 20fifthH2549 to PharaohH6547, and 21four-fifthsH702H3027 shall be your own for seedH2233 of the fieldH7704 and for your foodH400, and for those of your householdsH1004 and as foodH398 for your littleH2945 onesH2945.” 25So they saidH559, “You have savedH2421 our livesH2421! Let us findH4672 favorH2580 in the sightH5869 of my lordH113, and we will be Pharaoh’sH6547 slavesH5650.”
