And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.
People brought their animals to Joseph. In return, Joseph provided them with food (bread). They traded the food for horses, sheep, cows, and donkeys. This continued throughout the year, feeding all their animals with bread.
