57 All countries came into Egypt, to Joseph, to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
The seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
The famine was over all the surface of the earth. Joseph opened all the store-houses, and sold to the Egyptians. The famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
Now Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, "Why do you look at one another?"
As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save many people alive.
