Genesis 41:55-57

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵⁵ And when there also they began to be famished, the people cried to Pharao for food. And he said to them: Go to Joseph: and do all that he shall say to you.

⁵⁶ And the famine increased daily in all the land: and Joseph opened all the barns, and sold to the Egyptians: for the famine had oppressed them also.

⁵⁷ And all provinces came into Egypt, to buy food, and to seek some relief of their want.
