Genesis 45:11

And there will I nourish thee,.... Provide for him and his family:

for yet [there are] five years of famine; still to come, two of the seven only being past:

lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty; his whole posterity be consumed, as it would be in all probability, if he did not procure food for his family during the famine.
