New American Standard Bible
Then Joseph said, "Give up your livestock, and I will give you food for your livestock, since your money is gone."

King James Bible
And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
But Joseph said, "Give me your livestock. Since the money is gone, I will give you food in exchange for your livestock."

As the people had not grain for their own sustenance, consequently they could have none for their cattle: hence they were in the most immediate danger of starving; and the people also were in equal danger; as they must have divided a portion of that bought for themselves with the cattle, which, for the sake of tillage, etc., they wished of course to preserve till the seven years' famine should end.
