    Genesis 41 tells of a lengthy famine which, according to the text, lasts seven years. The famine is so deadly that people have nothing to eat, not only in Egypt, but in the surrounding lands as well. Egypt, however, survives the famine by storing extra grain from previous good years, and all the neighboring lands come to Egypt to buy food.

    Of note is the extended passage in Genesis 41:56-57, which states, "So when the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt. Moreover, all the earth came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth."

    This Element is about the creation and curation of social memory in pharaonic and Greco-Roman Egypt. Ancient, Classical, Medieval, and Ottoman sources attest to the horror that characterized catastrophic famines. Occurring infrequently and rarely reaching the canonical seven-years' length, famines appeared and disappeared like nightmares.

    "All of Upper Egypt was dying of hunger," his tomb inscriptions tell us. There were reports of cannibalism, of people eating their children; his province becoming like "a starved grasshopper." As so often happened in famines everywhere, hungry villagers wandered aimlessly in search of food and people fought over water.

    Attempting to study famine in ancient Egypt is challenging because textual evidence is limited, and its interpretation is contentious. For instance, during the long First Intermediate Period (c. 2160-1895 BCE), we have an unusual number of mentions of famine, hunger, years of "misery" or "belt-tightening," and even cannibalism.

    So the calculation of when Jacob (Israel) first enters Egypt during the famine would be 1486 B.C.+ (430 years x 360 Biblical days/365 days) = circa 1910 B.C. There would have been 7 years of plenty before Jacob enters Egypt during the famine, which would give you a date of around 1917 B.C. for when Joseph interpreted the dream and is installed ...
