• Gen 47:13-25 : 13 There was no food in the entire land because the famine was very severe. The land of Egypt and the land of Canaan wasted away under the pressure of the famine. 14 Joseph collected all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan in exchange for the grain they were buying, and he brought the money into Pharaoh’s house. 15 When the money from the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan was gone, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, 'Give us food! Why should we die in front of you? For our money is gone.' 16 Joseph said, 'Bring your livestock, and I will give you food in exchange for them if your money is gone.' 17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and he gave them food in exchange for the horses, the flocks of sheep, the herds of cattle, and the donkeys. He provided them with food in exchange for all their livestock that year. 18 When that year was over, they came to him the next year and said, 'We cannot hide from our lord that our money is gone and our livestock has been given to you. There is nothing left for our lord but our bodies and our land.' 19 'Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, and we will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed that we may live and not die, and that the land may not become desolate.' 20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh. The Egyptians sold their fields, because the famine was severe upon them. The land became Pharaoh’s. 21 As for the people, he relocated them to the cities, from one end of Egypt's border to the other. 22 Only the land of the priests he did not buy, because they received a fixed provision from Pharaoh and lived on that provision which Pharaoh gave them; therefore, they did not sell their land. 23 Then Joseph said to the people, 'Now that I have bought you and your land for Pharaoh, here is seed for you to sow in the land.' 24 When the harvest comes, you must give a fifth of it to Pharaoh. The remaining four parts will be yours as seed for the field, as food for yourselves, for those in your households, and for your children to eat. 25 They replied, 'You have saved our lives! May we find favor in the eyes of my lord, and we will be servants to Pharaoh.'
