Genesis 41:54

Study

       

54 and the seven years of famine begin to come, as Joseph said, and famine is in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt hath been bread;

5341. 'Which were in the land of Egypt' means within the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'the land of Egypt' as the natural mind, 5276, 5278, 5280, 5288, 5301, and so the natural itself.
