Joseph is shown as one of the rulers of Egypt. The Bible record is that Joseph was sent by God into Egypt that he might preserve for the Children of Israel "a posterity in the earth" and by a great deliverance save them from the seven years of famine that consumed their land (Gen. 37 et seq.).

The base section shows the surprise and consternation of Joseph's brethren on espying that their corn-filled sacks also contained money. Unknown to them, the purchase price of the corn had been restored to each man by the command of Joseph (Gen. 42).
