Genesis 47:15-17

Living Bible

¹⁵ When the people were out of money, they came to Joseph crying again for food.

“Our money is gone,” they said, “but give us bread; for why should we die?”

¹⁶ “Well then,” Joseph replied, “give me your livestock. I will trade you food in exchange.”

¹⁷ So they brought their cattle to Joseph in exchange for food. Soon all the horses, flocks, herds, and donkeys of Egypt were in Pharaoh’s possession.
