Commentary on Genesis 41:54

Theological / Devotional

The dearth was in all lands. As Joseph had foretold, the seven plentiful years were followed by seven years of famine, which affected not only Egypt but surrounding countries as well. Famine conditions in Egypt are produced when the Nile fails to overflow its banks (see on v. 34), and this in turn is due to a lack of rainfall in the highlands of Abyssinia.
