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 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.”

當時遍地都沒有食物，因為饑荒非常嚴重；埃及地和迦南地在饑荒之下都餓昏了。約瑟收聚了埃及地和迦南地所找得着的銀子，就是眾人買穀子的銀子；約瑟把那銀子帶進法老宮裏。埃及地和迦南地的銀子都花完了；埃及眾人就來見約瑟說：『給我們食物吧；我們為甚麼只因銀子用盡了而當着你面前白死呢？』約瑟說：『若是銀子用盡了，儘管把你們的牲畜給我，我就以你們的牲畜為代價、給你們食物。』於是他們把牲畜帶到約瑟那裏，約瑟就把食物給了他們，換來了馬、羊羣、牛羣和驢。那一年就這樣以他們所有的牲畜為代價將食物養活他們。那一年完了，第二年他們又來見約瑟說：『我們不向我主隱瞞；我們的銀子都花完了，牲畜家獸也都歸了我主了：我們在我主眼前，除了我們的身體和田地之外，一無所剩。我們為甚麼要連本身帶田地都白死在你眼前呢？用食物買我們和我們的田地吧，我們和我們的田地就可以供法老使用了。給我們種子吧，我們就可以活着，不至於死，田地也不至於荒涼了。』於是約瑟為法老買了埃及所有的田地，這是因為饑荒很厲害地迫着埃及人，以致埃及人各都賣了自己的田地，那地就都歸了法老。至於人民呢，約瑟就叫他們做奴隸，從埃及境內這邊，直到那邊。惟有祭司的田地、約瑟沒有買，因為祭司有從法老發的糧餉；他們喫法老所給的糧餉，所以他們不賣他們的田地。約瑟對人民說：『看哪，我今天替法老買了你們和你們的田地；看哪，這裏有種子給了你們，你們可以種地。到出產的時候，你們要把五分之一給法老，四分可以歸你們自己，做田地裏的種子，做你們和你們家人的食物，做你們那些幼小者的食物。』他們說：『你把我們救活了；我們若在我主面前蒙恩，我們情願給法老做奴隸。』
