This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Give your cattle: This was the wisest measure that could be adopted, both for the preservation of the people and the cattle. As the people had not grain for their own sustenance, consequently they could have none for their cattle: hence they were in the most imminent 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. Dan 6:5-7, Pro 12:17, 1Co 10:32, Phi 4:8, Col 4:5

Reciprocal: Gen 47:6 - cattle
