Commentary on Genesis 41:47

Theological / Devotional

The earth brought forth. Joseph’s prediction was accurately fulfilled. The grain grew by “handfuls,” or “bundles,” and Joseph gathered 20 percent of it into granaries throughout the land. The quantity of grain flowing into the royal storehouses was so enormous that it soon exceeded all facilities for recording the amount. Available scribes may have been needed as additional tax collectors.
