Genesis 41:53-57
1599 Geneva Bible
53 ¶ So the seven years of the plenty that was in the land of Egypt were ended.
54 (A)Then began the seven years of famine to come, according as Joseph had said: and the famine was in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt was [a]bread.
55 At the length all the land of Egypt was famished, and the people cried unto Pharaoh for bread. And Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph: what he saith to you, do ye.
56 When the famine was upon all the land, Joseph opened all places, wherein the store was, and sold unto the Egyptians: for the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
57 And all the countries [b]came to Egypt to buy corn of Joseph, because the famine was sore in all lands.

New International Version
53 The seven years of abundance in Egypt came to an end, 54 and the seven years of famine(A) began,(B) just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all the other lands, but in the whole land of Egypt there was food. 55 When all Egypt began to feel the famine,(C) the people cried to Pharaoh for food. Then Pharaoh told all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph and do what he tells you.”(D)
56 When the famine had spread over the whole country, Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians,(E) for the famine(F) was severe throughout Egypt.(G) 57 And all the world came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph,(H) because the famine was severe everywhere.(I)
