Genesis 41:53
ESV The seven years of plenty that occurred in the land of Egypt came to an end,
NIV The seven years of abundance in Egypt came to an end,
NASB When the seven years of plenty which had taken place in the land of Egypt came to an end,
CSB Then the seven years of abundance in the land of Egypt came to an end,
NLT At last the seven years of bumper crops throughout the land of Egypt came to an end.
KJV And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
NKJV Then the seven years of plenty which were in the land of Egypt ended,

What does Genesis 41:53 mean?

Another confirmation of Joseph's God-given ability to interpret dreams (Genesis 41:14–16) comes now. Joseph told Pharaoh that seven years of abundance would be followed by seven years of famine (Genesis 41:28–32). After seven years, the amazing prosperity in Egypt's fields comes to an end. The famine has begun.

That's bad news for the region, but it proves God's faithfulness to and through Joseph once more. God is ever trustworthy even while providing through dark and difficult times. Now, the stockpiles which Joseph has built up will save many people from starvation (Genesis 47:13–26).
