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.
