Genesis 47:19

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

Why should we perish before your eyes—we and our land as well? Purchase us and our land in exchange for food. Then we, along with our land, will be slaves to Pharaoh. Give us seed that we may live and not die, and that the land may not become desolate.”

World English Bible (WEB)

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 Pharaoh. Give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land won’t be desolate.”

Strong's King James

Wherefore shall we die{H4191}{(H8799)} before thine eyes{H5869}, both we and our land{H127}? buy{H7069}{(H8798)} us and our land{H127} for bread{H3899}, and we and our land{H127} will be servants{H5650} unto Pharaoh{H6547}: and give{H5414}{(H8798)} us seed{H2233}, that we may live{H2421}{(H8799)}, and not die{H4191}{(H8799)}, that the land{H127} be not desolate{H3456}{(H8799)}.

After a dramatic early morning encounter with King Jesus, I just couldn’t put my Bible down. The F.O.G took a hold of me and this website was born. Learn more about the F.O.G.
