Genesis 47:14-24

47:14

And Joseph
<03130>

gathered up
<03950> (8762)

all the money
<03701>

that was found
<04672> (8737)

in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

for the corn
<07668>

which they bought
<07666> (8802)_:

and Joseph
<03130>

brought
<0935> (8686)

the money
<03701>

into Pharaoh's
<06547>

house
<01004>_.

47:15

And when money
<03701>

failed
<08552> (8799)

in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

all the Egyptians
<04714>

came
<0935> (8799)

unto Joseph
<03130>_,

and said
<0559> (8800)_,

Give
<03051> (8798)

us bread
<03899>_:

for why should we die
<04191> (8799)

in thy presence? for the money
<03701>

faileth
<0656> (8804)_.

47:16

And Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Give
<03051> (8798)

your cattle
<04735>_;

and I will give
<05414> (8799)

you for your cattle
<04735>_,

if money
<03701>

fail
<0656> (8804)_.

47:17

And they brought
<0935> (8686)

their cattle
<04735>

unto Joseph
<03130>_:

and Joseph
<03130>

gave
<05414> (8799)

them bread
<03899>

[in exchange] for horses
<05483>_,

and for the flocks
<06629>_,

and for the cattle
<04735>

of the herds
<01241>_,

and for the asses
<02543>_:

and he fed
<05095> (8762)

them with bread
<03899>

for all their cattle
<04735>

for that year
<08141>_.

{fed...: Heb. led them}

47:18

When that year
<08141>

was ended
<08552> (8799)_,

they came
<0935> (8799)

unto him the second
<08145>

year
<08141>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, We will not hide
<03582> (8762)

[it] from my lord
<0113>_,

how that our money
<03701>

is spent
<08552> (8804)_;

my lord
<0113>

also hath
<0413>

our herds
<04735>

of cattle
<0929>_;

there is not ought left
<07604> (8738)

in the sight
<06440>

of my lord
<0113>_,

but our bodies
<01472>_,

and our lands
<0127>_:

47:19

Wherefore shall we die
<04191> (8799)

before thine eyes
<05869>_,

both we and our land
<0127>_?

buy
<07069> (8798)

us and our land
<0127>

for bread
<03899>_,

and we and our land
<0127>

will be servants
<05650>

unto Pharaoh
<06547>_:

and give
<05414> (8798)

[us] seed
<02233>_,

that we may live
<02421> (8799)_,

and not die
<04191> (8799)_,

that the land
<0127>

be not desolate
<03456> (8799)_.

47:20

And Joseph
<03130>

bought
<07069> (8799)

all the land
<0127>

of Egypt
<04714>

for Pharaoh
<06547>_;

for the Egyptians
<04714>

sold
<04376> (8804)

every man
<0376>

his field
<07704>_,

because the famine
<07458>

prevailed
<02388> (8804)

over them: so the land
<0776>

became Pharaoh's
<06547>_.

47:21

And as for the people
<05971>_,

he removed
<05674> (8689)

them to cities
<05892>

from [one] end
<07097>

of the borders
<01366>

of Egypt
<04714>

even to the [other] end
<07097>

thereof.

47:22

Only the land
<0127>

of the priests
<03548>

bought he
<07069> (8804)

not; for the priests
<03548>

had a portion
<02706>

[assigned them] of Pharaoh
<06547>_,

and did eat
<0398> (8804)

their portion
<02706>

which Pharaoh
<06547>

gave
<05414> (8804)

them: wherefore they sold
<04376> (8804)

not their lands
<0127>_.

{priests: or, princes}

47:23

Then Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the people
<05971>_,

Behold, I have bought
<07069> (8804) <0853>

you this day
<03117>

and your land
<0127>

for Pharaoh
<06547>_:

lo
<01887>_,

[here is] seed
<02233>

for you, and ye shall sow
<02232> (8804)

the land
<0127>_.

47:24

And it shall come to pass in the increase
<08393>_,

that ye shall give
<05414> (8804)

the fifth
<02549>

[part] unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,

and four
<0702>

parts
<03027>

shall be your own, for seed
<02233>

of the field
<07704>_,

and for your food
<0400>_,

and for them of your households
<01004>_,

and for food
<0398> (8800)

for your little ones
<02945>_.
