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 Joseph named the first son Manassehn and said, "God has made me forget all the troubles I have had and all my father's family."

52 Joseph named the second son Ephraimn and said, "God has given me children in the land of my troubles."

53 The seven years of good crops came to an end in the land of Egypt.

54 Then the seven years of hunger began, just as Joseph had said. In all the lands people had nothing to eat, but in Egypt there was food.

55 The time of hunger became terrible in all of Egypt, and the people cried to the king for food. He said to all the Egyptians, "Go to Joseph and do whatever he tells you."
