Weel, we come to the end of an era...at least to the end of the first book of the Bible. We find Joseph again doling out laws, so to speak, to those less fortunate than he.

Instead of just giving the grain to the people, he SOLD it to them for money, then for their livestock, and finally for their bondage. No, once again I find Joseph not to be as an honorable of a man as most people depict him to be. Why do this? Why NOT give the grain away....what is it to him? All he did was become richer, and make the ruler (Pharoah) richer, all at the cost of the people. Sounds like Democrats, too me. ONE-FIFTH, not one-Tenth, or a tithe, is what he required in return for 'giving' the people the grain they 'earned' by selling themselves and their very livelihood.
Are you like Joseph? Just a thought to mingle over today. Reply to this
