“And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.”
Joseph collected all the money that was to be found in Egypt and Canaan in payment for the grain they were buying, and he brought it to Pharaoh's palace. The accumulation of Egypt's and Canaan's monetary wealth into Pharaoh's treasury is the first phase of the economic transformation that the famine produces. The application: the severity of the famine is measured by the financial exhaustion it produces before the next phase begins.
