“And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father’s household, with bread, according to their families.”
Joseph also provided his father and his brothers and all his father's household with food, according to the number of their children. The provision according to the number of children — the most vulnerable members of the household — is the covenant care for those least able to provide for themselves. The application: the provision that is calibrated to the most vulnerable members of the community is the provision of justice and covenant faithfulness.
