Genesis 47:18-25

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 landsH127.1 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.
