後則繼以七饑年、使斯土為凶荒所滅、不憶前此之豐稔、

其後必繼以荒歉七年、使埃及疲敝、不知前此之富歲。

後將有七饑年、甚至伊及人忘昔之豐年、斯地將因饑而敗、

but seven years of famine will follow them. Then all the abundance in Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will ravage the land.

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.

Meanwhile, the famine became so severe that all the food was used up, and people were starving throughout the lands of Egypt and Canaan.

Elijah was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed earnestly that no rain would fall, none fell for three and a half years!

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

But afterward you wouldn’t have known it, for they were still as thin and scrawny as before! Then I woke up.

All who invoke a blessing or take an oath will do so by the God of truth. For I will put aside my anger and forget the evil of earlier days.

The seven thin, scrawny cows that came up later and the seven thin heads of grain, withered by the east wind, represent seven years of famine.

Now Elijah, who was from Tishbe in Gilead, told King Ahab,“ As surely as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives— the God I serve— there will be no dew or rain during the next few years until I give the word!”

So Gad came to David and asked him,“ Will you choose three years of famine throughout your land, three months of fleeing from your enemies, or three days of severe plague throughout your land? Think this over and decide what answer I should give the Lord who sent me.”

Elisha had told the woman whose son he had brought back to life,“ Take your family and move to some other place, for the Lord has called for a famine on Israel that will last for seven years.”

Let them drink to forget their poverty and remember their troubles no more.

Joseph named his older son Manasseh, for he said,“ God has made me forget all my troubles and everyone in my father’s family.”

“ Certainly there were many needy widows in Israel in Elijah’s time, when the heavens were closed for three and a half years, and a severe famine devastated the land.

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.
