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 Toen eindigden de zeven jaren des overvloeds, die in Egypte geweest was.
54 En de zeven jaren des hongers begonnen aan te komen, gelijk als Jozef gezegd had. En er was honger in al de landen; maar in gans Egypteland was brood.
55 Als nu gans Egypteland hongerde, riep het volk tot Farao om brood; en Farao zeide tot alle Egyptenaren: Gaat tot Jozef, doet wat hij u zegt.
56 Als dan honger over het ganse land was, zo opende Jozef alles, waarin iets was, en verkocht aan de Egyptenaren; want de honger was sterk in Egypteland.
57 En alle landen kwamen in Egypte tot Jozef, om te kopen; want de honger was sterk in alle landen.
