“Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.”
Joseph said to the people: now that I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh, here is seed for you so you can plant the ground. The seed provision — here is seed — is the beginning of the recovery phase: the people have traded land and freedom for survival; Joseph gives them the means to begin producing again. The application: the covenant provision that sustains through crisis is followed by the provision that enables recovery.
