【释义】：

饥荒遍地；(喻)饿殍遍野

And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.

And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.

And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.

Gen .41:54-57

七个荒年就来了，正如约瑟所说的，各地都有饥荒，惟独埃及全地有粮食。

及至埃及全地有了饥荒，众民向法老哀求粮食，法老对他们说：“你们往约瑟那里去，凡他所说的你们都要作。”

当时饥荒遍满天下，约瑟开了各处的仓，粜粮给埃及人；在埃及地饥荒甚大。

各地的人都往埃及去，到约瑟那里籴粮，因为天下的饥荒甚大。

《创世纪》41∶54－57］
