When the seven years of plenty which had been in the land of Egypt came to an end,

and ^(am)the seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said, then there was famine in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

So when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried out to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, "Go to Joseph; ^(an)whatever he says to you, you shall do."

When the famine was spread over all the face of the earth, then Joseph opened all ^[av]the storehouses, and sold to the Egyptians; and the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.

The people of all the earth came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because ^(ao)the famine was severe in all the earth.
