Genesis 47:19-21

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁹ Why 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 slaves unto Pharaoh, and give us seed that we may live, and not die, that the land not be desolate.

²⁰ Then Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for each one of the Egyptians sold his field because the famine prevailed over them; so the land became Pharaoh’s.

²¹ And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
