John Gill Commentary
"and there will I nourish thee; for there are yet five years of famine; lest thou come to poverty, thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast." — Genesis 45:11 (ASV)
And there will I nourish thee
Provide for him and his family:
for yet [there are] five years of famine ;
still to come, two of the seven only being past:
lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty ;
his whole posterity be consumed, as it would be in all probability, if he did not procure food for his family during the famine.
