Genesis 41:54-56
GOD’S WORD Translation
54 Then the seven years of famine began as Joseph had said they would. All the other countries were experiencing famine. Yet, there was food in Egypt. 55 When everyone in Egypt began to feel the effects of the famine, the people cried to Pharaoh for food. But Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph! Do what he tells you!”
56 When the famine had spread all over the country, Joseph opened all the storehouses [a] and sold grain to the Egyptians. He did this because the famine was severe in Egypt.
