Genesis 41:53-57
New King James Version
53 Then the seven years of plenty which were in the land of Egypt ended, 54 (A)and the seven years of famine began to come, (B)as Joseph had said. The famine was in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. 55 So when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Then Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph; (C)whatever he says to you, do.” 56 The famine was over all the face of the earth, and Joseph opened [a]all the storehouses and (D)sold to the Egyptians. And the famine became severe in the land of Egypt. 57 (E)So all countries came to Joseph in Egypt to (F)buy grain, because the famine was severe in all lands.

53 And the seven years of plenty, that was in the land of Egypt, came to an end. 54 And the seven years of famine began to come, according as Joseph had said: and there was famine in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. 55 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do. 56 And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the store-houses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine was sore in the land of Egypt. 57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was sore in all the earth.
