As Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh
13 And there was no bread in all the land because the famine was very severe; so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted because of hunger.
14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought; and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
15 For if Dissolving-money of the land of Egypt, and the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, saying, Give us bread; Why should we die in your presence? because money is lacking.
16 And Joseph said, Give your cattle, and I will give you for your cattle, if money missing.
17 And they brought their cattle to Joseph; and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and sheep, and cows and donkeys; and with bread that year for all their livestock.
18 And ending that year, came to him the second year, and said to him: Do not hide from my lord that the money is gone, and my master has the animals, and anything else left in the sight of the face of my lord, but our bodies and our land;
19 Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? For to us and to our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants of Pharaoh, and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and the land be not desolate.
20 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine was severe on them; and the land became Pharaoh's.
21 And as the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the earth of Egypt until the other end.
22 Only the land of the priests did not buy, for the priests had Pharaoh portion, and they ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them; why not sell their land.
23 Then Joseph said to the people, behold, today I have bought you and your land for Pharaoh; behold ye seed for you, that sow the land.
24 There is to be, but that the harvest will give the fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and you are in your houses, and that they may eat your children.
25 And they said life have given us; Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
26 Joseph as put it by statute to the day, on the land of Egypt, that Pharaoh should have the fifth, only the land of the priests did not become Pharaoh.
27 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen, and they had possessions therein, and were fruitful and multiplied exceedingly.
28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years; so that the days of Jacob, the years of his life, was an hundred forty-seven.
29 Coming up since the time of the death of Israel, called Joseph his son, and said unto him, If now I have found favor in your eyes, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and uses me charity it is true; I beg you not to bury me in Egypt,
30 But I Jahaz with my parents; so bring me out of Egypt, and bury me in their grave. And he said, I will do as you say.
31 And he said, Swear to me. And he swore to him; and Israel leaned on the headboard.
