American Standard Version
15 And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for our money faileth. 16 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail. 17 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph; and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the [a]flocks, and for the herds, and for the asses: and he [b]fed them with bread in exchange for all their cattle for that year.

New International Version
15 When the money of the people of Egypt and Canaan was gone,(A) all Egypt came to Joseph(B) and said, “Give us food. Why should we die before your eyes?(C) Our money is all gone.”
16 “Then bring your livestock,(D)” said Joseph. “I will sell you food in exchange for your livestock, since your money is gone.(E)” 17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and he gave them food in exchange for their horses,(F) their sheep and goats, their cattle and donkeys.(G) And he brought them through that year with food in exchange for all their livestock.
