Genesis 47:15–26
When the money from the lands of Egypt and Canaan was gone, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, “Give us food. Why should we die before your eyes? For our funds have run out!” / “Then bring me your livestock,” said Joseph. “Since the money is gone, I will sell you food in exchange for your livestock.” / So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and he gave them food in exchange for their horses, their flocks and herds, and their donkeys. Throughout that year he provided them with food in exchange for all their livestock.
