Genesis 41:53 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:53

And the seven years of plenteousness that was in the land of
Egypt were ended.
] Perhaps quickly after the birth of Ephraim, Joseph's second son; since the account follows upon that, and it is certain that he was born before the years of famine began, ( Genesis 41:50 ) ; some connect the words, "moreover when" the seven years of plenty were ended, then began, as follows, seven years of famine; these events were fulfilled just as Joseph had predicted.

Genesis 41:53 In-Context

51 Yosef called the name of the firstborn Menashsheh, "For," he said, "God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house."

52 The name of the second, he called Efrayim: "For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction."

53 The seven years of plenty, that was in the land of Mitzrayim, came to an end.

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

55 When all the land of Mitzrayim was famished, the people cried to Par`oh for bread, and Par`oh said to all the Mitzrim, "Go to Yosef. What he says to you, do."
