Backdrop to Israelite Bondage
The story lays the background for the Egyptian enslavement of the Israelites. Yosef's enslaving of the Egyptians later led to a backlash against his family who had been spared the severe policy.
Cause of Prolonged Stay
The harsh conditions of the famine, highlighted in this episode, explain why Yaakov's family did not simply return to Canaan immediately, but rather stayed on foreign soil.
