Genesis 47:13-26

13And there was no breadH3899 in all the landH776; for the famineH7458 was veryH3966 severeH3515, so that the landH776 of EgyptH4714 and all the landH776 of CanaanH3667 faintedH3856 by reasonH6440 of the famineH7458. 14And JosephH3130 gatheredH3950 all the moneyH3701 that was foundH4672 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, for the grainH7668 which they boughtH7666: and JosephH3130 broughtH935 the moneyH3701 into Pharaoh’sH6547 houseH1004. 15And when moneyH3701 failedH8552 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, all the EgyptiansH4714 cameH935 to JosephH3130, and saidH559, GiveH3051 us breadH3899: for why should we dieH4191 in thy presence? for the moneyH3701 failethH656. 16And JosephH3130 saidH559, GiveH3051 your cattleH4735; and I will giveH5414 you for your cattleH4735, if moneyH3701 hath failedH656. 17And they broughtH935 their cattleH4735 to JosephH3130: and JosephH3130 gaveH5414 them breadH3899 in exchange for horsesH5483, and for the flocksH6629, and for the cattleH4735 of the herdsH1241, and for the donkeysH2543: and he fedH5095 them with breadH3899 for all their cattleH4735 for that yearH8141.1 18When that yearH8141 was endedH8552, they cameH935 to him the secondH8145 yearH8141, and saidH559 to him, We will not hideH3582 from my lordH113, how that our moneyH3701 is spentH8552; my lordH113 also hathH413 our herdsH4735 of cattleH929; there is nothing leftH7604 in the sightH6440 of my lordH113, but our bodiesH1472, and our landsH127: 19Why shall we dieH4191 before thy eyesH5869, both we and our landH127? buyH7069 us and our landH127 for breadH3899, and we and our landH127 will be servantsH5650 to 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. 21And as for the peopleH5971, he removedH5674 them to citiesH5892 from one endH7097 of the bordersH1366 of EgyptH4714 even to its other endH7097. 22Only the landH127 of the priestsH3548 bought heH7069 not; for the priestsH3548 had a portionH2706 assigned them by PharaohH6547, and ateH398 their portionH2706 which PharaohH6547 gaveH5414 them: therefore they soldH4376 not their landsH127.2 23Then JosephH3130 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, Behold, I have boughtH7069H853 you this dayH3117 and your landH127 for PharaohH6547: loH1887, here is seedH2233 for you, and ye shall sowH2232 the landH127. 24And it shall come to pass in the harvestH8393, that ye shall giveH5414 the fifthH2549 part to PharaohH6547, and fourH702 partsH3027 shall be your own, for seedH2233 of the fieldH7704, and for your foodH400, and for them of your householdsH1004, and for foodH398 for your little onesH2945. 25And they saidH559, Thou hast saved our livesH2421: let us findH4672 graceH2580 in the sightH5869 of my lordH113, and we will be Pharaoh’sH6547 servantsH5650. 26And JosephH3130 madeH7760 it a lawH2706 over the landH127 of EgyptH4714 to this dayH3117, that PharaohH6547 should have the fifthH2569 part ; exceptH7535 the landH127 of the priestsH3548 only, which became not Pharaoh’sH6547.3
