Genesis 47:14-17
Contemporary English Version
14 So Joseph sold them the grain that had been stored up, and he put the money[a] in the king's treasury. 15 But when everyone had run out of money, the Egyptians came to Joseph and demanded, “Give us more grain! If you don't, we'll soon be dead, because our money's all gone.”
16 “If you don't have any money,” Joseph answered, “give me your animals, and I'll let you have some grain.” 17 From then on, they brought him their horses and donkeys and their sheep and goats in exchange for grain.
Within a year Joseph had collected every animal in Egypt.

Genesis 47:14-17
New International Version
14 Joseph collected all the money that was to be found in Egypt and Canaan in payment for the grain they were buying,(A) and he brought it to Pharaoh’s palace.(B) 15 When the money of the people of Egypt and Canaan was gone,(C) all Egypt came to Joseph(D) and said, “Give us food. Why should we die before your eyes?(E) Our money is all gone.”
16 “Then bring your livestock,(F)” said Joseph. “I will sell you food in exchange for your livestock, since your money is gone.(G)” 17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and he gave them food in exchange for their horses,(H) their sheep and goats, their cattle and donkeys.(I) And he brought them through that year with food in exchange for all their livestock.
