"And thus We established Joseph in the land," meaning the land of Egypt, "to settle therein wherever he wills," meaning he resides [where he wishes]. Al-Suddi said: He sold them their provisions for one year for all the gold they possessed, then he sold to them for one year for all the silver they possessed, then he sold to them for one year for all the copper they possessed, then he sold to them for one year for all the lead they possessed, then he sold to them for one year for all the iron they possessed, then he sold to them for one year for their very own selves; thus their persons and their wealth all became his.
