“ Then a famine struck all Egypt and Canaan, bringing great suffering, and our ancestors could not find food.

“ There was not enough food for all Egypt and Canaan. This brought great suffering. Jacob and his sons couldn’t find food.

But don’t be upset, and don’t be angry with yourselves for selling me to this place. It was God who sent me here ahead of you to preserve your lives.This famine that has ravaged the land for two years will last five more years, and there will be neither plowing nor harvesting.

But the famine continued to ravage the land of Canaan.

Meanwhile, the famine became so severe that all the food was used up, and people were starving throughout the lands of Egypt and Canaan.By selling grain to the people, Joseph eventually collected all the money in Egypt and Canaan, and he put the money in Pharaoh’s treasury.When the people of Egypt and Canaan ran out of money, all the Egyptians came to Joseph.“ Our money is gone!” they cried.“ But please give us food, or we will die before your very eyes!”

Then the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had predicted. The famine also struck all the surrounding countries, but throughout Egypt there was plenty of food.Eventually, however, the famine spread throughout the land of Egypt as well. And when the people cried out to Pharaoh for food, he told them,“ Go to Joseph, and do whatever he tells you.”So with severe famine everywhere, Joseph opened up the storehouses and distributed grain to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe throughout the land of Egypt.And people from all around came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph because the famine was severe throughout the world.

So Jacob’s sons arrived in Egypt along with others to buy food, for the famine was in Canaan as well.

He called for a famine on the land of Canaan, cutting off its food supply.

I will take care of you there, for there are still five years of famine ahead of us. Otherwise you, your household, and all your animals will starve.’”
