“And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.”
And all the world came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe everywhere. The scope expands beyond Egypt — all the world comes to Joseph. The application: the blessing through Joseph that Pharaoh received (Genesis 41:38) and Egypt received (Genesis 39:5) now extends to the world. The covenant blessing of Abraham — in you all nations will be blessed — is operating through Joseph in the granaries of Egypt.
