Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 13. - And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore (literally, heavy), so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted (literally, was exhausted, had become languid and spiritless) by reason of the famine. The introduction of the present section, which first depicts the miseries of a starving population, and then circumstantially describes a great political revolution forced upon them by the stern necessity of hunger, may have been due to a desire (1) to exhibit the extreme urgency which existed for Joseph's care of his father and brethren (Bush), (2) to show the greatness of the benefit conferred on Joseph's house (Baumgarten, Keil, Lange), and perhaps also (3) to foreshadow the political constitution afterwards bestowed upon the Israelites (Gerlach).
