The famine drives Egyptians to sell themselves and land to Pharaoh, while Joseph settles his family in Goshen. Near death, Jacob makes Joseph swear to bury him in Canaan, anchoring hope in God's covenant despite current circumstances. Jacob blesses Ephraim over Manasseh, prophesying God's sovereignty will reverse human expectations and elevate whom He chooses.

How might we recognize God's providence working through our present circumstances to fulfill His promises?
