The second son he named Ephraim and said, “It is because God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering.”
53 And the seven years of plenty that were in the land of Egypt were ended;

The seven years of abundance in Egypt came to an end,
54 and the seven years of the dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said. And there was dearth in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
54
and the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all the other lands, but in the whole land of Egypt there was food.
55 And all the land of Egypt suffered from the dearth. And the people cried to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph: what he says to you, that do.
55
When all Egypt began to feel the famine, the people cried to Pharaoh for food. Then Pharaoh told all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph and do what he tells you.”

56
When the famine had spread over the whole country, Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe throughout Egypt.
57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph, to buy [grain], because the famine was grievous on the whole earth.

And all the world came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe everywhere.
