📚 Historical Context

In the biblical story of Joseph, he had been sold into slavery by his jealous brothers but rose to become the second-in-command in Egypt through God's providence. Years later, during a severe famine that affected the region, Joseph's brothers came to Egypt seeking food, and he revealed his identity to them, offering forgiveness and inviting them to settle there. He assured them not to worry about their belongings because the resources of Egypt were fully available to sustain them and their families.
