Episode: Genesis 47: Egypts' Wealth Transfer
Description: How did Egypt become the richest country in the first place? In this episode, Joseph exercises his authority and wisdom to develop one of the first taxing systems during the extreme famine which was so catastrophic that people offered their livestock, land, and eventually themselves as a form of currency for bread. We also hear the desire of Israel to return back to the promise land to be buried with his fathers.
