Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Genesis 41:29

Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:See the goodness of God, in sending the seven years of plenty before those of famine, that provision might be made accordingly. How wonderful wisely has Providence, that great house-keeper, ordered the affairs of this numerous family from the beginning! Great variety of seasons there have been and the produce of the earth sometimes more, and sometimes less; yet take one time with another, what was miraculous... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Genesis 41:30

And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;See the perishing nature of our worldly enjoyments.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 41:33

33. Now therefore let Pharaoh “Joseph now naturally passes from the interpreter to the adviser . He is all himself on this critical occasion . His presence of mind never forsakes him . The openness of heart and readiness of speech for which he was early distinguished, now stand him in good stead . His thorough self-command arises from spontaneously throwing himself with all his heart into the great national emergency which is before his mind . And his native simplicity of heart, practical... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 41:34

34. Take up the fifth part Hebrews, let him fifth the land of Egypt . Perhaps tithing the produce of the land for the king was already in practice, but Joseph advises that one-fifth of their annual produce be set apart, and saved for the time of famine . read more
