“And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh’s.”
So Joseph bought all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh. The Egyptians, one and all, sold their fields, because the famine was too severe for them. The land became Pharaoh's. The consolidation of all Egyptian land into Pharaoh's ownership is the economic consequence of the seven-year famine. The application: the famine that Joseph predicted and prepared for has produced the most complete economic transformation in the history of Egypt.
