Moreover, they do not know that I ended up in prison for something I had not done....I do not intend to share all these details with them...I now realise that God watched over me wherever I was and whatever I had to do... And He has used every challenge in my life to prepare me for my present task... I know that I will continue my task as overseer of the grain distribution for at least another five years.... For, according to the dreams God gave to Pharaoh.... The famine will last for a total of seven years... We have had two years of famine...Five more years of famine are to follow.... My brothers ought to know these facts"...

PART LVIII
Joseph, who is in charge of the grain distribution in Egypt, continues by telling his brothers that the famine is not yet over as you can read in Genesis 45:6
"For two years now there has been famine in the land, and in the next five years there will be no plowing and reaping."
Joseph knows from the dreams that God had given the Pharaoh nine years ago that the famine will last for a total of seven years.
