Scripture Post #1,691: *PHARAOH'S ORDERS*

 

Genesis 45:20: 

"Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours."

Context:

Gen. 45:16: "And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants."

Verse 17: "And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;"

V. 18: "And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land."

V. 19: "Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come."

V. 20: "Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours."

Orders directly from Pharaoh himself in regards to Joseph's family were that Joseph's family could feel free to help themselves to all that the land of Egypt had to offer! Joseph was thrilled that his family was back in his life, again. But such a tremendous blessing it was to have Pharaoh and the people of Egypt happy for Joseph's family as well!
