Genesis 47:15-25 And spent is all the money in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan. And coming are all in Egypt to Joseph, saying, "Grant us bread! Why should we die in front of you? For the limit of our money has been reached.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And spent is all the money in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan. And coming are all in Egypt to Joseph, saying, "Grant us bread! Why should we die in front of you? For the limit of our money has been reached. ¹⁶ And saying is Joseph, "Grant your cattle, and give it will I to you, bread for your cattle, if the money reaches its limit. ¹⁷ And bringing are they their cattle to Joseph, and giving is Joseph to them bread for horses, and for cattle of the flocks, and for cattle of the herds, and for asses. And sustaining them is he with bread, and fodder for all their cattle in that year. ¹⁸ And spent is that year. And coming are they to him in the second year, and saying to him, "Not suppress will we from my lord that spent is the money, and the cattle and the beasts belong to my lord, then nothing remains before my lord, barring our bodies and our ground. ¹⁹ Why shall we die before your eyes and our ground be desolate? Buy us and our ground with bread, and we and our ground will become servants of Pharaoh. And give seed for sowing and we shall live and not die, and the ground will not be desolate. ²⁰ And buying is Joseph all the ground of Egypt for Pharaoh, for the Egyptians sell to Pharaoh each man his field, seeing that a fast hold has the famine over them. And coming is the land to be Pharaoh's. ²¹ And the people are made to serve him as servants from one end of Egypt's boundary unto its other end. ²² But the ground of the priests alone, this Joseph does not buy, for there is a statutory dole for the priests from Pharaoh, and they eat the statutory dole which Pharaoh gives to them. Therefore they did not sell their ground. ²³ And saying is Joseph to all the Egyptians, "Behold! Buy do I you today, with your ground, for Pharaoh. Lo! for you there is seed, and sow shall you the ground. ²⁴ And it comes, of the incomes, you give the fifth handful to Pharaoh, and four handfuls shall become yours, for seed for the field, and for your food, and for all who are in your household, and for food for your tots. ²⁵ And saying are they, "Preserving are you our lives. Finding are we grace in the eyes of my lord, and we become Pharaoh's servants.
