Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠כָל הָ⁠אָ֨רֶץ֙

and=all the=earth/land

This phrase refers to the people living on the earth. Consider whether or not you need to make that explicit in your language. See how you translated a similar metonymy (“all the land”) in verse 55. Alternate translation: “In fact, people from all over the earth”

בָּ֣אוּ מִצְרַ֔יְמָ⁠ה לִ⁠שְׁבֹּ֖ר אֶל יוֹסֵ֑ף

they_went Egypt,to to,buy_grain to/towards Yōşēf

Alternate translation: “started traveling to Egypt to buy food from Joseph,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

כִּֽי חָזַ֥ק הָ⁠רָעָ֖ב בְּ⁠כָל הָ⁠אָֽרֶץ

that/for/because/then/when severe the,famine in=all the=earth/land

For some languages it is clearer or more natural to put this clause near the beginning of verse 57 and say, “In fact, the famine was/became so severe/terrible in/throughout the entire/whole world that people started coming/traveling to Egypt from all over the world to buy grain from Joseph.” Do what is best in your language. See how you translated “severe/terrible” in verse 56. Alternate translation: “because the food shortage was so severe throughout the entire world.”
