Joseph informs Pharaoh about his family's arrival in Egypt and their desire to settle in Goshen, a region suitable for their livestock. Jacob is then presented to Pharaoh, and they share a profound conversation about age and blessings. Jacob blesses Pharaoh before their meeting concludes. The Israelites are then settled in the prime region of Goshen, where they rapidly prosper. As the chapter progresses, it showcases Joseph's administrative acumen during the severe famine. Egyptians exhaust their money to buy grain, leading them to sell their livestock, then their lands, and finally offer themselves as servants to Pharaoh in exchange for food. Joseph implements a policy: while the land now belongs to Pharaoh, the people can work it, giving a fifth of their produce to the ruler. This strategy strengthens Pharaoh's position while ensuring the people's survival and stake in their labor. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the contrast between the Egyptians, who sell everything for sustenance, and the Israelites, who flourish in the land of Goshen.
