Genesis 47:15-17

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ After some time, when the people in Egypt and Canaan had no ·money [silver] left, ·they [^Lall Egypt] went to Joseph and said, “Please give us food. Our money is gone, ·and if we don’t eat, we will [^Lwhy should we…?] die here in front of you.”

¹⁶ Joseph answered, “Since you have no ·money [silver], give me your ·farm animals [livestock], and I will give you food in return [^Lfor your livestock].” ¹⁷ So people brought their ·farm animals [livestock] to Joseph, and he gave them food in exchange for their horses, sheep, goats, cattle, and donkeys. And he ·kept them alive by trading [supplied them with] food for their ·farm animals [livestock] that year.
