Genesis 46

12. Joseph’s wise leadership 46:31-47:27

As a result of Joseph presenting his family members to Pharaoh, they received the best of Egypt’s land. Jacob blessed Pharaoh in return for his goodness. In the years that followed, Joseph bought almost all of Egypt for Pharaoh, saved the Egyptians’ lives, and furthered Israel’s prosperity and blessing. Through him all the nations near Egypt also received blessing (cf. Genesis 12:3).
