Genesis 47:18-20

18When that yearH8141 was endedH8552, they cameH935 unto him the secondH8145 yearH8141, and saidH559 unto him, We will not hideH3582 it from my lordH113, how that our moneyH3701 is spentH8552; my lordH113 also hathH413 our herdsH4735 of cattleH929; there is not ought leftH7604 in the sightH6440 of my lordH113, but our bodiesH1472, and our landsH127:

19Wherefore shall we dieH4191 before thine eyesH5869, both we and our landH127? buyH7069 us and our landH127 for breadH3899, and we and our landH127 will be servantsH5650 unto PharaohH6547: and giveH5414 us seedH2233, that we may liveH2421, and not dieH4191, that the landH127 be not desolateH3456.

20And JosephH3130 boughtH7069 all the landH127 of EgyptH4714 for PharaohH6547; for the EgyptiansH4714 soldH4376 every manH376 his fieldH7704, because the famineH7458 prevailedH2388 over them: so the landH776 became Pharaoh’sH6547.
