Genesis 47:14-15
Excerpted from: The Money Has Failed! (Part One)What did they mean, “the money has failed”? They meant simply that compared to the value of life-giving grain, the money was worth absolutely nothing.
Why would a person facing starvation want to give up his remaining supply of grain in order to get some money? What good would the money do him? He wanted life, not money, and grain offered life. Because the money had “failed,” it had fallen to almost zero value. Thus, in order to buy food, the people had been forced to spend all of their money. Now they were without food or money.
