Genesis 47:10-16 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

10. Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and withdrew from his presence.

11. Joseph settled his father and brothers and gave them a holding in Egypt on the pick of the land, in the region of Rameses, as Pharaoh had ordered.

12. And Joseph provided food for his father and brothers and his father’s whole household, down to the youngest.

13. Since there was no food in all the land because of the extreme severity of the famine, and the lands of Egypt and Canaan were languishing from hunger,

14. Joseph gathered in, as payment for the grain that they were buying, all the money that was to be found in Egypt and Canaan, and he put it in Pharaoh’s house.

15. When all the money in Egypt and Canaan was spent, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, pleading, “Give us food! Why should we perish in front of you? For our money is gone.”

16. “Give me your livestock if your money is gone,” replied Joseph. “I will give you food in return for your livestock.”
