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?

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.
