10 E Jacó abençoou a Faraó, e saiu-se de diante de Faraó.

11 Assim José fez habitar a seu pai e a seus irmãos, e deu-lhes possessão na terra do Egito, no melhor da terra, na terra de Ramessés como mandou Faraó.

12 E alimentava José a seu pai e a seus irmãos, e a toda a casa de seu pai, de pão, segundo o número de seus filhos.

13 E não havia pão toda a terra, e a fome era muito grave; pelo que desfaleceu de fome a terra do Egito e a terra de Canaã.

14 E recolheu José todo o dinheiro que se achou na terra do Egito e na terra de Canaã, pelos alimentos que dele compravam; e meteu José o dinheiro na casa de Faraó.
