Genesis 41:53-57

English Standard Version

⁵³ The seven years of plenty that occurred in the land of Egypt came to an end, ⁵⁴ and ^(A)the seven years of famine began to come, ^(B)as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. ⁵⁵ When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do.”

⁵⁶ So when the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph opened all the storehouses^[a] and ^(C)sold to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt. ⁵⁷ Moreover, all the earth came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe ^(D)over all the earth.
