Glancing Through the Scriptures!

(KJV.)  GENESIS 47:8-14

Joseph and the famine:

(8)  And Pharaoh said unto Jacob;  How old art thou?

(9)  And Jacob said unto Pharaoh,  The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years:  few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.

(10) And Jacob blessed Pharoah and went out from before Pharoah.  

(11) And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.

(12) And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families.

(13) And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.

(14)  And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought:  and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.

ADDENDUM

Why did Joseph bring his family to the land of Egypt, was it for food, or to get closer to them, or to bloodline with them?  Therefore, if you have a family, cherish them!

I thank you, for reading the scriptures with me today, you are blessed by Jehovah, the Almighty Creator of Heaven and Earth!
