And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you.For two years now there has been famine in the land, and for the next five years there will be no plowing and reaping.

Now the famine was still severe in the land.

There was no food, however, in the whole region because the famine was severe; both Egypt and Canaan wasted away because of the famine.Joseph collected all the money that was to be found in Egypt and Canaan in payment for the grain they were buying, and he brought it to Pharaoh’s palace.When the money of the people of Egypt and Canaan was gone, all Egypt came to Joseph and said,“ Give us food. Why should we die before your eyes? Our money is all gone.”

and the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all the other lands, but in the whole land of Egypt there was food.When all Egypt began to feel the famine, the people cried to Pharaoh for food. Then Pharaoh told all the Egyptians,“ Go to Joseph and do what he tells you.”When the famine had spread over the whole country, Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe throughout Egypt.And all the world came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe everywhere.

So Israel’s sons were among those who went to buy grain, for there was famine in the land of Canaan also.

He called down famine on the land and destroyed all their supplies of food;

I will provide for you there, because five years of famine are still to come. Otherwise you and your household and all who belong to you will become destitute.’
