“And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.”
Then bring your livestock, said Joseph. I will sell you food in exchange for your livestock, since your money is gone. The livestock-for-food phase is Joseph's pragmatic extension of the provision — the people have something else of value; Joseph accepts it. The application: the creative exchange that finds what value remains when the primary currency is exhausted is the stewardship of limited resources under crisis conditions.
