Mwanzo 41:56

Wakati njaa ilipokuwa imeenea katika nchi yote, Yosefu akafungua ghala za vyakula na kuwauzia Wamisri nafaka, kwa sababu njaa ilikuwa kali mno katika nchi yote ya Misri.

And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
