13 The famine was so severe that there was no food anywhere. Neither Egypt nor Canaan were producing crops because of the famine. 14 Joseph collected all the money that could be found in Egypt and in Canaan as payment for the grain people bought. Then he took it to Pharaoh's palace. 15 When the money in Egypt and Canaan was gone, all the Egyptians came to Joseph. |Give us food,| they said. |Do you want us to die right in front of you? We don't have any more money!| 16 Joseph replied, |If you don't have any more money, give me your livestock, and I'll give you food in exchange.| 17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and he gave them food in exchange for their horses, sheep, goats, cattle, and donkeys. During that year he supplied them with food in exchange for all their livestock. Genesis 47:13-17, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
