01:047:011 And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a
           possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in
           the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.

01:047:012 And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his
           father’s household, with bread, according to their families.

01:047:013 And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was
           very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of
           Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.

01:047:014 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the
           land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which
           they bought:  and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s
           house.

01:047:015 And when money failed 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 the money
           faileth.

01:047:016 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for
           your cattle, if money fail.

01:047:017 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph:  and Joseph gave
           them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for
           the cattle of the herds, and for the asses:  and he fed them
           with bread for all their cattle for that year.

01:047:018 When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year,
           and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that
           our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle;
           there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our
           bodies, and our lands: 

01:047:019 Wherefore shall 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, that the land be not desolate.

01:047:020 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the
           Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine
           prevailed over them:  so the land became Pharaoh’s.

01:047:021 And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end
           of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.

01:047:022 Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests
           had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their
           portion which Pharaoh gave them:  wherefore they sold not their
           lands.

01:047:023 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.
