ગુજરાતીઉત્પત્તિ ૪૭:૧૩
હવે તે આખા દેશમાં અન્ન ન હતું; કેમ કે દુકાળ વધતો જતો હતો. મિસર દેશ તથા કનાન દેશના લોકો દુકાળને કારણે વેદનાગ્રસ્ત થયા.
हिन्दीउत्पत्ति ४७:१३
उस सारे देश में खाने को कुछ न रहा; क्योंकि अकाल बहुत भारी था, और अकाल के कारण मिस्र और कनान दोनों देश नाश हो गए।

In context

11Joseph placed his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.

12Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all of his father’s household with bread, according to the sizes of their families.

13There was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.

14Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.

15When the money was all spent in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, “Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence? For our money fails.”
