Genesis 41:55 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:55

And when all the land of Egypt was famished
Their old stock and store eaten up, and the inhabitants ready to starve with hunger: the people cried to Pharaoh for bread;
as their common father, and knowing that he had stores of provision laid up in all cities against this time: and Pharaoh said to the Egyptians, go unto Joseph;
whom he had appointed over this business of providing and laying up corn against this time, and of distributing it: what he saith to you, do;
give the price for the corn he fixes or requires; for this was the principal thing they had to do with him, to get corn for their money.

Genesis 41:55 In-Context

53 Da nun die sieben reichen Jahre um waren in Ägypten,
54 da fingen an die sieben teuren Jahre zu kommen, davon Joseph gesagt hatte. Und es ward eine Teuerung in allen Landen; aber in ganz Ägyptenland war Brot.
55 Da nun das ganze Ägyptenland auch Hunger litt, schrie das Volk zu Pharao um Brot. Aber Pharao sprach zu allen Ägyptern: Gehet hin zu Joseph; was euch der sagt, das tut.
56 Als nun im ganzen Lande Teuerung war, tat Joseph allenthalben Kornhäuser auf und verkaufte den Ägyptern. Denn die Teuerung ward je länger, je größer im Lande.
57 Und alle Lande kamen nach Ägypten, zu kaufen bei Joseph; denn die Teuerung war groß in allen Landen.
