Such power as Joseph now attained
brought with it its own temptations.
There was the temptation, always
keenly felt by 'an. Oriental ruler, to.
fleece the populace and to promote his
own interests; the temptation to bask
in the royal favor and the plaudits of
the multitude, and to neglect the. res-
ponsibilities attached to great office;
the temptation also to turn cynical
from the bitter experiences of. the
years that.had gone'and, now, in office,
to make .others suffer as he once suf-
fered: ' Joseph, however, was as noble
in power as, he had been in privation.
He had been made -the-administreter
of the whole land of Egypt. Usually
-there wasanlministrator for -Low
Egypt, andanother for Upper Egypt.
But a critical emergency was fore-
seen; Joseph had been granted pow-
ers extraordinary for copin.e with it.
The. reign I_of • Amenophis IV... in the
New Kingdom- has been suggested es
the most likely background for 'Jo-
seph's administration. At that time
Egypt was under an official bureau-
c:acy with h 'highl'y centralized gov-.
•ernments Joseph's agrarian policy
would be- possible 'at that time, for
:Pharaoh was then regarded as the
land owner bl` the whole of Egypt. In
order to carry • out his policy Joseoh
traversed ,. the land, visiting ail the
nomes (or districts), together with
their leading cities. He had recon--
.tended to the Pharaoh that' in the
seven ' years of plenty, twenty per
cent: of the -crop -Should he stored -as
a provision for the lean years. The
Egyptians n -ere thus taught the home-
ly virtue of thrift. The grain wee
.shred in state' granaries in the capi-
tal towns of the various districts.
From numerous paintings. on Egyp-
tian ruins, it is possible to form an
idea of these granaries.' They' were
cenicelly-shaped, day buildit}gs. A
series -of them w.:s enclosed within a
daughter of one of .the priests of On,
or Heliopolis, north of Cairo, where an
obelisk of the old sun -temple still
stands. From very early times On
was the seat of a ` -nighty and wealthy
priesthood. Their religion was a ma-
ture of the worship of Re, the sun-
god; with the worship .of 'a local god,
Atum. The high priest of On was
one of the most influential'. persons in
the kingdom.,This alliance thus link-
ed Joseph with the most powerful in-
terests of Egypt. Without abandon-
ing; in any way,; his faith „iii the : God
of his fathers, . Joseph thoroughly
identified himself with the life of his
adopted country. The sons of this
union were givennames which me-
morialized the goodness of God to Jo-
seph:' In , ancient tinesnames were
..not--nierely._names. They served to
indicate character or the .circu:n-
stances under which one was born or
lived.

Nile annually overflowed its banl3;
thrix- inundation caused the Egyptian
harvests to be relatively sure and very
rich. Sometimes, ho*evel:, the waters
c f the Nile were diminished through
lack of rainfall ' in the , interior of
Africa,. and failed .to .overflow i s
banks. This, of course,' occasioned
famine with all its miseries. Two 'pro-
longed periods . of drought in Egypt
area matter of historical knowledge:
`This condition .now prevailed during
Joseph's administration. The drought
was international in its scope and,
therefore, • very serious. _ T.hanls to
Jose,►h's policy, however. Egypt had
enough and•to .spare: ' Joseph, as vir-
tual dictator, -was himself in supreme
control of the state granaries. He was
thus in a position to supply his bra-
thers with corn when. they cadre 'from
