Genesis 47:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.

¹⁸ And they came the second year, and said to him: We will not hide from our lord, how that our money is spent, and our cattle also are gone: neither art thou ignorant that we have nothing now left but our bodies and our lands.
