· 38 viewsJoseph prepared Egypt for the famine but as the people continue to buy grain, their money runs out. Joseph accepts livestock as payment until livestock runs out. Joseph accepts land until the land is all bought. The people place themselves in servitude to Pharaoh in exchange for grain. God's people prosper during this time. God has a plan for His people and will take care of them. Jesus is the answer to our problems and the only way out of the bondage of sin.
