Genesis 47:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ Joseph said, “Give me your livestock, and I will give you food for your livestock if the silver is gone.” ¹⁷ So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food for the horses, flocks, cattle, and donkeys. He got them through that year with food in exchange for all of their livestock.

¹⁸ When that year was over, they came to him the next year and said to him, “We can’t hide from my master that the silver is spent and that we’ve given the livestock to my master. All that’s left for my master is our corpses and our farmland.
