Context — The Famine Continues
11So Joseph settled his father and brothers in the land of Egypt and gave them property in the best part of the land, the district of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
12Joseph also provided his father and brothers and all his father’s household with food for their families.
13There was no food, however, in all that region, because the famine was so severe; the lands of Egypt and Canaan had been exhausted by the famine.
14Joseph collected all the money to be found in the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan in exchange for the grain they were buying, and he brought it into Pharaoh’s palace. 15When the money from the lands of Egypt and Canaan was gone, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, “Give us food. Why should we die before your eyes? For our funds have run out!”Cross References

Genesis 47:13 Summary
[Genesis 47:13 tells us that there was a severe famine in the land, which meant that there was no food available, and this highlights the challenges that Joseph faced in providing for his family and the Egyptians. This verse reminds us that even in difficult times, God is sovereign and provides for His people, as seen in Genesis 45:5. The famine also teaches us about the importance of trusting in God's provision, rather than our own resources, and this is a theme that is echoed in other parts of the Bible, such as Psalm 37:25. By looking to God for provision, we can experience His faithfulness and care, even in the midst of hardship.]

Gill's Exposition on Genesis 47:13
And [there was] no bread in all the land,.... The land of Egypt and the parts adjacent, but in Pharaoh's storehouses, all being consumed that were in private hands the first two years of the famine:
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Genesis 47:13
And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Genesis 47:13
Quest. Whence came it that the people in this extremity did not take the corn by force out of the several store-houses? Answ. Besides that singular providence of God which watcheth over kings and rulers, and stilleth the tumults of the people, Joseph had no doubt foreseen this difficulty, and took due care to prevent it, partly, by disposing the stores in strong and well-guarded places; partly, by adding wealth and strength to the king, whereby he might more easily suppress any seditious risings; and principally, by not permitting the people to despair, or come to the utmost extremity, but giving them relief in all their exigences.
Trapp's Commentary on Genesis 47:13
Genesis 47:13 And [there was] no bread in all the land; for the famine [was] very sore, so that the land of Egypt and [all] the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.Ver. 13. The famine was very sore.] Of this famine mention is made by Justin, lib. i., and Orosius, lib. i., cap. 8. So that the land of Egypt fainted.] Furebat, saith Junius. The Egyptians in the fifth year of the famine began to rage, if they could have told at what; and were well-nigh mad. Our Saviour’ s friends "went out to lay hold of him: for they said, He is beside himself." Or, as some render it, he will faint: for, Mark 3:20, "The multitude came so together, that they could not so much as eat bread." These Egyptians, whether they fainted or fretted, it was for want of bread. Joseph had foretold them of this seven years’ famine; but saturity and security had so besotted them, that they feared nothing, till they felt it. Fulness bred forgetfulness; and now they are ready to let fly at others, because pinched with that penury that they might have prevented. "The wickedness of a man perverts his way, and his heart frets against the Lord." See it in that furious king, 2 Kings 6:33. οτιεξεστη. So Genesis 45:26. εξεστητηδιανοια. - Sept.
