Genesis 47:14-16

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁴ Joseph collected all the money that could be found in Egypt and in Canaan as payment for the grain people bought. Then he took it to Pharaoh’s palace. ¹⁵ When the money in Egypt and Canaan was gone, all the Egyptians came to Joseph. “Give us food,” they said. “Do you want us to die right in front of you? We don’t have any more money!”

¹⁶ Joseph replied, “If you don’t have any more money, give me your livestock, and I’ll give you food ^[a] in exchange.”
