Genesis 47:15-17

International Children’s Bible

¹⁵ After some time, the people in Egypt and Canaan had no money left. So they went to Joseph and said, “Please give us food. Our money is gone. If we don’t eat, we will die here in front of you.”

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