Pharaoh saw the spirit of God in Joseph’s recommendation; and he asked Joseph to accept the position of overseeing the storage and distribution of grain. The position was second only, in authority, to Pharaoh, the king.
During the seven years of plentiful harvest, Joseph established a grain storage network, where huge quantities of grain were stored, in preparation for the coming seven years of famine. [Reflection is based on the Bible Reference – Genesis 41:41-49]
