Famine in Egypt
The famine in Egypt In this picture is a section of the Prophecy of Nefertiti, circa 1550 BCE, as found in the 18th Dynasty hieratic manuscript, the Papyrus St. Petersburg 1116B “The rivers of Egypt are empty so that the water is crossed on foot… The land is diminished, but its administrators are many; bare, but its taxes are great; little in grain, but the measure is large”.
The Bible relates the story of the famine in Genesis 41:56-57 Accordingly, when the famine became severe in the land of Egypt, Joseph laid open all that was within, and rationed out grain to the Egyptians. The famine, however, spread over the whole world.So all the world came to Joseph in Egypt to procure rations, for the famine had become severe throughout the world.
