SEV Biblia, Chapter 41:55
Y hubo hambre en toda la tierra de Egipto, y el pueblo clamó al Faraón por pan. Y dijo el Faraón a todo los egipcios: Id a José, y haced lo que él os dijere.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 41:55
Verse 55. When all the land of Egypt was famished] As Pharaoh, by the advice of Joseph, had exacted a fifth part of all the grain during the seven years of plenty, it is very likely that no more was left than what was merely necessary to supply the ordinary demand both in the way of home consumption, and for the purpose of barter or sale to neighbouring countries.
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 __________________________________________________________________
