Genesis 47:20


Genesis 47:19 Genesis 47:20 (KJV) Genesis 47:21
Wherefore 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 servants unto Pharaoh: and give [us] seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate.
And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's.
And as for the people, he removed them to cities from [one] end of the borders of Egypt even to the [other] end thereof.
