"They said, 'You have saved our lives; may it please my lord , we will be slaves to Pharaoh.'" (47:25)The people are so grateful for food that they have given up everything to Pharaoh. How awful. You don't remember this from the Sunday School stories of Joseph. Yes, they are alive, and I guess there must be other governments that let their people starve, but I agree with Kelly, wasn't there a better way? What about food stamps? I wrote a few days ago that you aren't a servant unless you claim to be one and the whole people of Egypt claim to be servants. Are people so quick to give up their freedom?
