Genesis 41:54 And the seven years of famine began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. 57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.
Not only did Rameses 2 become extremely wealthy through the providence of God, sacred history also confirms that he was a great builder, and came into possession of tremendous amounts of real estate by the providence of God. These observations are very important for they will guide us as we search for any replicas that might be occurring in our day. The vast wealth and real estate of Rameses 2 required the building of treasure cities and according to the scriptures, almost all privately held lands, ultimately became his.
Genesis 47:11 And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt in the best of the land in the land of Rameses as Pharaoh had commanded. 14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house. 15 And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money fails.
Genesis 47:16 And Joseph said, give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail. 17 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year. 18 When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, we will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also has our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands.
Exodus 1: 11 Therefore they did set over them task- masters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
