Genesis 47:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ And when the buyers wanted money, all Egypt came to Joseph, saying: Give us bread: why should we die in thy presence, having now no money.

¹⁶ And he answered them: Bring me your cattle, and for them I will give you food, if you have no money.

¹⁷ And when they had brought them, he gave them food in exchange for their horses, and sheep, and oxen, and asses and he maintained them that year for the exchange of their cattle.
