Genesis 47:13-15 ▼

13 And there was no bread in all the earth, for the famine was very severe. And the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine.

14 And Joseph gathered up all the silver found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain that they were buying, and Joseph brought the silver to the house of Pharaoh.

15 And the silver was finished from the land of Egypt and from the land of Canaan, and all Egypt came to Joseph and said, “Give to us bread, and why should we die in your presence? For the silver is gone.”
