Genesis 47:15 - Exposition

And when money failed (literally, and the silver was consumed, or spent ) in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all (literally, and all ) the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth (literally, and why should we die in thy presence because silver faileth? i.e. seeing that thou art able to support us).
