现在，你们不要因为把我卖到这里而自怨自责。上帝差我先来这里，是为了保住大家的性命。地上的饥荒已经两年了，我们还有五年不能种、不能收。

那地方的饥荒仍然非常严重，

饥荒很严重，到处都缺粮，埃及和迦南都饱受饥荒之苦。约瑟把埃及人和迦南人向他买粮的银子收集起来，存放在法老的库房里。埃及人和迦南人的银子都用光了，埃及人就来见约瑟，对他说：“我们的钱财都用光了，求你给我们粮食，免得我们饿死在你面前。”

七个荒年接踵而至，正如约瑟所言。各地都有饥荒，只有埃及全国有粮食。后来，埃及全国也闹饥荒，百姓就向法老求粮，法老对他们说：“你们去找约瑟吧，要照他的吩咐做。”饥荒蔓延到整个埃及时，约瑟便开仓卖粮给埃及人。那时，埃及的饥荒非常严重。各国的人都到埃及来向约瑟买粮，因为天下到处都是大饥荒。

以色列的儿子们加入了买粮的行列，因为迦南也闹饥荒。

祂在那里降下饥荒，断绝一切食物的供应。

我可以奉养他，以免他和全家老少及仆婢牲畜都陷入绝境，因为还有五年的饥荒。’
