Genesis 47:19

Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give [us] seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate.

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

Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we and our land will be enslaved to Pharaoh. But also give us seed to plant, so that we can stay alive and not die, and so that the land won't become barren."

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.”

wherefore should we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land be not desolate.
