2 | Why did Joseph sell grain in Egypt? | Genesis | srbaegon | 19834 | ||
1) It was Egypt's grain, so those who were not Egyptian should be expected to pay. 2) Storage houses had to be constructed and maintained during the seven years of plenty. This cost needed to be repayed. 3) As a steward of Pharaoh's dominion, Joseph was obliged to do things in such a way that was to Pharaoh's benefit. Does this help? Steve |
