Yosefu alibapele ifyakulya paku kabushanya naba punda, pafitekwa, elo naba kabalwe. Alibalishishe no mukate no kukabushanya ne fitekwa fyabo fyonse muli ulya mwaka.¹⁸Uluntu ulya mwaka wa pwile, baishile kwisa kuli ye mu mwaka wakonkelepo elo no kulanda kuli ye ati, ''Fwebo tatwafise nangu cimo kuli shikulu ukuti indalama shesu fwebo shilipwile, elo ne mikuni ya ng'ombe shonse shakwa shikulu.

Icakuti icakulengaa busano cakwa Farao. Fondefye fya bashimapepo efitali fyakwa Farao.²⁷Eico Israeli aikele mu Egypto, mu calo ca Gosheni. Abantu bakwe bali nonkelemo ifyuma mulya. Bena balifyalene elo no kusanduluka apakulu. ²⁸Yakobo alikele mu calo ca Egypto imyaka ikumi limo na cine lubali, Eico imyaka ya bumi bwakwa Yakobo yali umwanda umo na makumi yane na cine lubali.²⁹Uluntu inshta ya palamine iya kufwa kwakwa Israeli, aishile kukuta umwana wakwe Yosefu elo no kwisa kumweba ati, ''Nga cakuti ndisangile uluse pa menso yobe, bika ukuboko kobe munshi ya matanta yandi, elo unange icishinka elo ne cicetekelo.
