Scripture Post #1,701: *RAMESES*

 

 

Genesis 47:

11 And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded. 

12 And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families. 

Can you imagine strangers taking the best your home has to offer all for themselves?

Joseph's family came to Egypt and resided in the best of the land: the land of *RAMESES*. Joseph's family, the beginning of the Israelites, were outsiders. Yet and still, they were accepted and received to dwell in the best of the land! GOD truly looked out for His people.
