Génesis 41:54 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:54

And the seven years of dearth began to come, as Joseph had
said
In the interpretation of Pharaoh's dreams; as soon as the seven years of plenty were over, there were quickly some appearances of the famine coming on; as particularly the river Nile not flowing to its usual height at the season of it; hence there was a drought, the earth was parched, and everything began to wither and decay, and the seed that was sown sprung not up: and the dearth was in all lands;
adjoining to Egypt, as Syria, Arabia, Palestine, Canaan but in all the land of Egypt there was bread;
which was in the hands of everyone, and remained of their old stores in the years of plenty not yet exhausted, and which continued for some time after the dearth began. It is very probable that to this seven years' drought in Egypt Ovid F20 refers, which he makes to be nine; as does also Apollodorus {u}.

54 y comenzaron a venir los siete a帽os de hambre, tal como Jos茅 hab铆a dicho, entonces hubo hambre en todas las tierras; pero en toda la tierra de Egipto hab铆a pan.
55 Cuando se sinti贸 el hambre en toda la tierra de Egipto, el pueblo clam贸 a Fara贸n por pan; y Fara贸n dijo a todos los egipcios: Id a Jos茅, y haced lo que 茅l os diga.
56 Y el hambre se extendi贸 sobre toda la faz de la tierra. Entonces Jos茅 abri贸 todos los graneros y vendi贸 a los egipcios, pues el hambre era severa en la tierra de Egipto.
