SEV Biblia, Chapter 41:54
Y comenzaron a venir los siete años del hambre, como José había dicho; y hubo hambre en todas las provincias, mas en toda la tierra de Egipto había pan.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 41:54
Verse 54. The seven years of dearth began to come] Owing in Egypt to the Nile not rising more than twelve or thirteen cubits; (See on ""ver. 31"";) but there must have been other causes which affected other countries, not immediately dependent on the Nile, though remotely connected with Egypt and Canaan. The dearth was in all lands] All the countries dependent on the Nile.And it appears that a general drought had taken place, at least through all Egypt and Canaan; for it is said, ver. 57, that the famine was sore in all lands - Egypt and Canaan, and their respective dependencies.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 46-57 - In the names of his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, Joseph owned the Divine providence. 1. He was made to forget his misery. 2. He was mad fruitful in the land of his affliction. The seven plenteous years came and were ended. We ought to look forward to the end of the days, bot of our prosperity and of our opportunity. We must not be secure in prosperity, nor slothful in making good use of opportunity. Years of plenty will end; what thy hand finds to do, do it; and gather in gathering time. The dearth came, and the famine was not only in Egypt but in other lands. Joseph was diligent in laying up, while the plent lasted. He was prudent and careful in giving out, when the famine came Joseph was engaged in useful and important labours. Yet it was in the midst of this his activity that his father Jacob said, Joseph is not What a large portion of our troubles would be done away if we knew the whole truth! Let these events lead us to Jesus. There is a famine of the bread of life throughout the whole earth. God to Jesus, and what he bids you, do. Attend to His voice, apply to him; he will open his treasures, and satisfy with goodness the hungry soul of every age an nation, without money and without price. But those who slight thi provision must starve, and his enemies will be destroyed __________________________________________________________________
