=S=> Gen 47,13 And there was no bread in all the land ; for the famine was very sore , so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine .
=S=> Gen 47,14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt , and in the land of Canaan , for the grain which they bought : and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house .
=S=> Gen 47,15 And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt , and in the land of Canaan , all the Egyptians came unto Joseph , and said , Give us bread : for why should we die in thy presence ? for [ our ] money faileth .
=S=> Gen 47,16 And Joseph said , Give your cattle ; and I will give you for your cattle , if money fail .
=S=> Gen 47,17 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph ; and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses , and for the flocks , and for the herds , and for the asses : and he fed them with bread in exchange for all their cattle for that year .
=S=> Gen 47,18 And when that year was ended , they came unto him the second year , and said unto him , We will not hide from my lord , how that our money is all spent ; and the herds of cattle are my lord's ; there is nought left in the sight of my lord , but our bodies , and our lands :
=S=> Gen 47,19 wherefore should we die before thine eyes , both we and our land ? buy us and our land for bread , and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh : and give us seed , that we may live , and not die , and that the land be not desolate .
=S=> Gen 47,20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh ; for the Egyptians sold every man his field , because the famine was sore upon them : and the land became Pharaoh's .
=S=> Gen 47,21 And as for the people , he removed them to the cities from one end of the border of Egypt even to the other end thereof .
=S=> Gen 47,22 Only the land of the priests bought he not : for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh , and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them ; wherefore they sold not their land .
=S=> Gen 47,23 Then Joseph said unto the people , Behold , I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh : lo , here is seed for you , and ye shall sow the land .
=S=> Gen 47,24 And it shall come to pass at the ingatherings , that ye shall give a fifth unto Pharaoh , and four parts shall be your own , for seed of the field , and for your food , and for them of your households , and for food for your little ones .
=S=> Gen 47,25 And they said , Thou hast saved our lives : let us find favor in the sight of my lord , and we will be Pharaoh's servants .
=S=> Gen 47,26 And Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt unto this day , that Pharaoh should have the fifth ; only the land of the priests alone became not Pharaoh's .
