Legacy Standard Bible
53 Then the seven years of plenty which had been in the land of Egypt came to an end, 54 and (A)the seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said. So there was famine in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. 55 Then all the land of Egypt was famished, and the people cried out to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph; (B)whatever he says to you, you shall do.” 56 Now the famine was over all the face of the land. And Joseph opened all [a]the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians; and the famine was severe in the land of Egypt. 57 Now all the earth also came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph because (C)the famine was severe in all the earth.
