Joseph stored up huge quantities of grain, like the sand of the sea; it was so much that he stopped keeping records because it was beyond measure. The quantity is described with the covenant language of Abraham's descendants — like the sand of the sea. The application: the blessing of abundance that comes through Joseph's stewardship is described in the same terms as the covenant blessing of population. The grain is covenant provision on a national scale.
