Midrasz do Rodzaju 41:57
וְכָל־הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ בָּ֣אוּ מִצְרַ֔יְמָה לִשְׁבֹּ֖ר אֶל־יוֹסֵ֑ף כִּֽי־חָזַ֥ק הָרָעָ֖ב בְּכָל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃
I ze wszystkich krajów przybywali do Micraim, aby zakupować zboże u Josefa; gdyż wzmagał się głód na całej ziemi.
Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer
The third king was Joseph, who ruled from one end of the world to the other, as it is said, "And all the earth came || into Egypt to Joseph" (Gen. 41:57). It is not written here "Egypt came," but "they came into Egypt," for they brought their tribute and their presents to Joseph to buy (corn); for forty years he was second to the king, and for forty years he was king alone, as it is said, "Now there arose a new king over Egypt" (Ex. 1:8).
