And when the buyers had run out of money, all Egypt came to Joseph, saying: “Give us bread. Why should we die in your sight, lacking money?” (Genesis 47, 15)
And he responded to them: “Bring me your cattle, and I will give food to you in exchange for them, if you do not have money.” (Genesis 47, 16)
Likewise, they came the second year, and they said to him: “We will not conceal from our lord that our money is gone; likewise our cattle are gone. Neither are you unaware that we have nothing left but our bodies and our land. (Genesis 47, 18)
Therefore, why should you watch us die? Both we and our land will be yours. Buy us into royal servitude, but provide seed, lest by the dying off of cultivators the land be reduced to a wilderness.” (Genesis 47, 19)
Therefore, Joseph said to the people: “So, as you discern, both you and your lands are possessed by Pharaoh; take seed and sow the fields, (Genesis 47, 23)
so that you may be able to have grain. One fifth part you will give to the king; the remaining four I permit to you, as seed and as food for your families and children. (Genesis 47, 24)
And they responded: “Our health is in your hand; only let our lord look kindly upon us, and we will serve the king with gladness.” (Genesis 47, 25)
And when he discerned that the day of his death was approaching, he called his son Joseph, and he said to him: “If I have found favor in your sight, place your hand under my thigh. And you shall show me mercy and truth, not to bury me in Egypt. (Genesis 47, 29)
But I shall sleep with my fathers, and you will carry me from this land and bury me in the sepulcher of my ancestors.” And Joseph answered him, “I will do what you have ordered.” (Genesis 47, 30)
And it was told to the old man, “Behold, your son Joseph is coming to you.” And being strengthened, he sat up in bed. (Genesis 48, 2)
And he said: ‘I will increase and multiply you, and I will make you influential among the people. And I will give this land to you, and to your offspring after you, as an everlasting possession.’ (Genesis 48, 4)
Therefore, your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came here to you, will be mine. Ephraim and Manasseh will be treated by me just like Reuben and Simeon. (Genesis 48, 5)
