Genesis 41:46


Genesis 41:46

And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

a.    Henry M. Morris: “he went throughout all the land of Egypt”, probably indicating a much more detailed unit by unit survey of the agriculture and other productive occupations of the Egyptians. He was then able to organize, with his assistants, a comprehensive program of conservation during the good years ahead.

b. The Bible says that Joseph was thirty years old when he was promoted by Pharaoh. This helps us develop a rough timeline all the way back beyond  Isaac, to the flood.
