GOD MEANS IT FOR GOOD
PART LXXXII
Joseph made sure his family gets settled in well in the land of Egypt as you can read in Genesis 47:11-12
So Joseph settled his father and his brothers in Egypt and gave them property in the best part of the land, the district of Rameses, as Pharaoh directed. Joseph also provided his father and his brothers and all his father’s household with food, according to the number of their children.
Joseph not only provides his family with land, he makes sure they are provided with their daily food.
