19 Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we will be—we and our land—servants to Pharaoh. And give us seed, and we will live and not die, that the land will not be desolate.” 20 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for every man of Egypt sold his field because the famine was severe upon them. And the land became unto Pharaoh. 21 And the people—he reduced them to servitude, from one end of the border of Egypt and to its other end. Genesis 47:19-21, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
