This food should be held in reserve for the country, to be used during the seven years of famine that will come upon Egypt, so that the country may not be ruined by the famine.”

The grain should be stored up for the country to use later. It will be needed during the seven years when there isn’t enough food in Egypt. Then the country won’t be destroyed just because it doesn’t have enough food.”

That food shall be a reserve for the land against the seven years of famine that are to occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land may not perish through the famine.”

That way there will be enough to eat when the seven years of famine come to the land of Egypt. Otherwise this famine will destroy the land.”

The food will be a reserve for the land during the seven years of famine that will take place in the land of Egypt. Then the country will not be wiped out by the famine.”

Let the food be used as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which will occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land will not perish during the famine.”

Then that food shall be as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which shall be in the land of Egypt, that the land may not perish during the famine.”

And the food shall be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.

The food will be to supply the land against the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt; so that the land will not perish through the famine.”

饥荒非常严重，全地都绝了粮，埃及地和迦南地都因饥荒耗损了。约瑟收集了埃及地和迦南地所有的银子，就是众人买粮的银子，约瑟就把那些银子都带到法老的宫里。埃及地和迦南地的银子都花光了，埃及众人到约瑟那里，说：“我们的银子都用完了，求你给我们粮食吧！我们为什么要死在你面前呢？”约瑟说：“银子若是用完了，可以把你们的牲畜卖给我，我就以你们的牲畜换粮食给你们。”于是他们把牲畜带到约瑟那里，约瑟就拿粮食换了他们的马、羊、牛、驴；那一年他因换他们一切的牲畜，用粮食养活他们。那一年过去，第二年他们又来到约瑟那里，对他说：“不瞒我主，我们的银子都花光了，牲畜也都归于我主了。我们在我主面前，除了自己的身体和土地以外，一无所剩。你为什么要眼看着我们人死地荒呢？求你用粮食买我们和我们的地，我们和我们的地就要为法老效力。求你给我们种子，使我们可以存活，不致死亡，土地也不致荒芜。”于是，约瑟为法老买了埃及所有的土地，埃及人因饥荒所迫，都卖了自己的田地；那些地都归给法老了。至于百姓，从埃及边界的一端到另一端，约瑟使他们作奴隶。只有祭司的土地，约瑟没有买，因为祭司从法老领取薪俸，靠法老的薪俸过活，所以没有卖自己的土地。约瑟对百姓说：“看哪，我今日为法老买了你们和你们的土地。看哪，这些种子是给你们的，你们可以耕种土地。将来收割的时候，你们要把五分之一纳给法老，另外四分可以给你们作田地的种子，作你们和你们全家大小的食物。”他们说：“你救了我们的性命，愿我们在我主眼前蒙恩，我们情愿作法老的奴隶。”
