¹⁵And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came vnto Ioseph, and said, Giue vs bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.

¹⁶And Ioseph said, Giue your cattell: and I will giue you for your catell, if money faile.

¹⁸When that yeere was ended, they came vnto him the second yeere, and said vnto him, We will not hide it from my LORD, how that our money is spent, my LORD also had our heards of cattell: there is not ought left in the sight of my LORD, but our bodies, and our lands.

¹⁹Wherfore shall we die before thine eyes, both we, and our land? buy vs and our land for bread, and we and our land will be seruants vnto Pharaoh: and giue vs seede that we may liue and not die, that the land be not desolate.

²⁰And Ioseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh: for the Egyptians sold euery man his field, because the famine preuailed ouer them: so the land became Pharaohs.

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

²²Onely the land of the ^‖Priests bought he not: for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eate their portion which Pharaoh gaue them: wherefore they solde not their lands.

²³Then Ioseph said vnto the people, Behold, I haue bought you this day, and your land for Pharaoh: Loe, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.

²⁴And it shall come to passe in the increase, that you shall giue the fift part vnto Pharaoh, and foure parts shall be your owne, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your litle ones.

²⁵And they said, Thou hast saued our liues: let vs find grace in the sight of my LORD, and we will be Pharaohs seruants.
