Genesis 47:15 in Context — Genesis 47

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.

15 E acabado o dinheiro da terra do Egito e da terra de Canaã, veio todo Egito a José dizendo: Dá-nos pão: por que morreremos diante de ti, por haver-se acabado o dinheiro?

16 E José disse: Dai vossos gados, e eu vos darei por vossos gados, se se acabou o dinheiro.

17 E eles trouxeram seus gados a José; e José lhes deu alimentos por cavalos, e pelo rebanho das ovelhas, e pelo rebanho das vacas, e por asnos: e sustentou-os de pão por todos os seus gados aquele ano.
