This food should be held in reserve for the country, to be used during the seven years of famine that will come upon Egypt, so that the country may not be ruined by the famine.”

The grain should be stored up for the country to use later. It will be needed during the seven years when there isn’t enough food in Egypt. Then the country won’t be destroyed just because it doesn’t have enough food.”

That food shall be a reserve for the land against the seven years of famine that are to occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land may not perish through the famine.”

That way there will be enough to eat when the seven years of famine come to the land of Egypt. Otherwise this famine will destroy the land.”

The food will be a reserve for the land during the seven years of famine that will take place in the land of Egypt. Then the country will not be wiped out by the famine.”

Let the food be used as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which will occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land will not perish during the famine.”

Then that food shall be as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which shall be in the land of Egypt, that the land may not perish during the famine.”

And the food shall be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.

The food will be to supply the land against the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt; so that the land will not perish through the famine.”

當時全地都沒有糧食，因為饑荒極其嚴重；埃及地和迦南地都因饑荒的緣故而衰竭。約瑟收聚了埃及地和迦南地能找到的所有銀子，就是眾人用來買糧的銀子；約瑟把那些銀子都交到法老家。當埃及地和迦南地的銀子用盡之後，所有的埃及人都來到約瑟那裡，說：「求你給我們糧食吧！難道銀子用完了，我們就要死在你面前嗎？」約瑟說：「如果銀子用完了，可以把你們的牲畜帶來。我就給你們糧食，來換你們的牲畜。」於是，他們把牲畜帶到約瑟那裡，約瑟就給他們糧食，來換他們的馬匹、羊群、牛群和驢。那一年，約瑟就給他們提供糧食，換了他們所有的牲畜。那一年過後，次年他們又來到約瑟那裡，對他說：「不瞞我主，我們的銀子用盡了，牲畜也歸了我主；除了我們的身體和土地以外，我們在我主面前一無所剩。難道我們和我們的地要在你眼前消亡嗎？求你用糧食買我們和我們的地，我們連人帶地都必成為法老的奴僕；又求你給我們種子，使我們得以存活，不至於死，地也不至於荒蕪。」於是，約瑟為法老買了埃及所有的地，因為饑荒重壓埃及人，他們各人都賣了自己的地。這樣，埃及所有的地就都成為法老的了；至於埃及邊界一端到另一端的所有百姓，約瑟都使他們成了奴隸。只有祭司的地，約瑟不買，因為祭司有從法老而來的定額糧；他們可以吃法老所給的定額糧，所以不用賣自己的地。約瑟對百姓說：「看哪，我今日為法老買了你們和你們的地。看，這些是給你們的種子，你們可以種地了。到了收穫的時候，你們要把收成的五分之一交給法老，五分之四歸你們自己，作為田裡的種子以及你們、你們家人和孩子的食物。」他們說：「你使我們存活了；願我們在我主眼前蒙恩，我們必作法老的奴僕。」
