57 And all lands sent to Egypt, to Joseph, to get grain, for the need was great over all the earth.
Then came the first of the seven years of need as Joseph had said: and in every other land they were short of food; but in the land of Egypt there was bread.
And everywhere on the earth they were short of food; then Joseph, opening all his store-houses, gave the people of Egypt grain for money; so great was the need of food in the land of Egypt.
Now Jacob, hearing that there was grain in Egypt, said to his sons, Why are you looking at one another?
As for you, it was in your mind to do me evil, but God has given a happy outcome, the salvation of numbers of people, as you see today.
