So Yosef bought all the land of Egypt for Par`oh, for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine was severe on them, and the land became Par`oh's.
Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Par`oh. Give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land won't be desolate.*
