📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Genesis, Joseph, who had risen to become the second-in-command in Egypt, was managing the distribution of food during a devastating famine that affected the region. As part of his economic plan, he collected payments and acquired land from the Egyptian people in exchange for grain, but he exempted the priests' land because Pharaoh directly provided for them as a privileged class. This reflects the ancient Egyptian society's structure, where the priesthood held a protected and honored position supported by the ruler.
