"Joseph said, "Give me your livestock; and I will give you food for your livestock, if your money is gone.""
— Genesis 47:16, World English Bible
“And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.”
“And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail. ”
“Then Joseph said,“If your money is gone, bring your livestock, and I will give you food in exchange for your livestock.””
“And he answered them: Bring me your cattle, and for them I will give you food, if you have no money.”
“And Joseph said, Give me your cattle; I will give you grain in exchange for your cattle if your money is all gone.”
“And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.”
There was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
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.
When the money was all spent in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, "Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence? For our money fails."
Joseph said, "Give me your livestock; and I will give you food for your livestock, if your money is gone."
They brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the donkeys: and he fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock for that year.
When that year was ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, "We will not hide from my lord how our money is all spent, and the herds of livestock are my lord's. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands.
Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land won't be desolate."
