The Second Journey to Egypt

43 Now the famine was still severe in the land.^(A)

² So when they had eaten all the grain they had brought from Egypt,^(A) their father said to them, “Go back and buy us a little more food.”^(B)

⁷ But God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant^(A) on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.^[a](B)

¹¹ I will provide for you there,^(A) because five years of famine^(B) are still to come. Otherwise you and your household and all who belong to you will become destitute.’^(C)
