When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:
Cuando terminó aquel año, vinieron a él al año siguiente y le dijeron: 'No ocultaremos la verdad de mi señor. Nuestro dinero se acabó, y ya tienes nuestro ganado. No nos queda nada para darte excepto nuestros cuerpos y nuestra tierra.'
Los egipcios, sin dinero ni ganado, solo podían ofrecer a José sus propias vidas y tierras para obtener comida.
📚 Contexto Histórico
During a severe famine in ancient Egypt, Joseph, who had risen to a high position as Pharaoh's vizier, was overseeing the distribution of stored grain to prevent starvation among the people. After the Egyptians had exhausted their money and sold their livestock to buy food, they returned to Joseph in desperation, offering their land and even their own bodies as servants to survive. This event illustrates the economic crisis and the growing dependence on centralized authority under Pharaoh's rule.
