Genesis 47 (Jacob Dies)

No not that one, the other one.
You know, Israel.

Genesis 47
Jacob comes to rest in Egypt.
After many years of stress and loss.
He is found by his lost son.
His family is saved.
And he can rest for 17 years before his death.

Joseph conducts a buyout program on behalf of Pharaoh.
Garnering the entire land of Egypt except that owned by the Egyptian priests.
Shrewd.
Very shrewd business.
Wisdom, diligence, diplomacy.
3 skills Joseph possessed and used.
Having the gift is only half the secret.

Knowing how to use it seals the deal.
Joseph sealed the deal.
Nothing worse than a wasted gift.
