As they bought grain, Joseph collected all the money and took it to the palace.
The famine grew worse and spread over the whole country, so Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians.
People came to Egypt from all over the world to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe everywhere.
When all the money in Egypt and Canaan was spent, the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, “Give us food! Don't let us die. Do something! Our money is all gone.”
People curse someone who hoards grain, waiting for a higher price, but they praise the one who puts it up for sale.
The one thing required of such servants is that they be faithful to their master.
Each one, as a good manager of God's different gifts, must use for the good of others the special gift he has received from God.
