Genesis 41:57

⁵The sons of Israel came to buy among those who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

⁵⁴The seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

¹Now Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?”

⁵⁶The famine was over all the surface of the earth. Joseph opened all the store houses, and sold to the Egyptians. The famine was severe in the land of Egypt.

²⁸lest the land you brought us out from say, ‘Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.’

¹⁶He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies. ¹⁷He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave.

²⁰As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to save many people alive, as is happening today.
