Genesis 41:53-57

Eventually, Egypt’s seven years of abundance came to an end. Then began the seven years of famine, just as Joseph prophesied. Although there was a severe famine everywhere else, food was available throughout the land of Egypt. When the Egyptians grew hungry, the people cried out to Pharaoh for food. Then Pharaoh said to all his people, “Go to Joseph and do whatever he tells you.” As the famine worsened over all the land, Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe everywhere. So because of the severity of the worldwide famine, people from all over the world had to come and buy grain from Joseph.
