Exodus 18:21, Genesis 47:11, Exodus 18:21, Genesis 47:11, Proverbs 22:29

17They brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the donkeys: and he fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock for that year.

18When that year was ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, "We will not hide from my lord how our money is all spent, and the herds of livestock are my lord's. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands.

Job 2:4, Nehemiah 5:2, Nehemiah 5:3, Job 2:4, Nehemiah 5:2
20So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine was severe on them, and the land became Pharaoh's.
21As for the people, he moved them to the cities from one end of the border of Egypt even to the other end of it.
