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.
