“Remember, Joseph had to take his family to Egypt to escape a tyrants rampage against his son.”

Yes - God provides. I have thought that with no job, etc. when they fled, Joseph used those gifts to live on for awhile in Egypt. I wonder what the history of Egypt was like at that time. Did Joseph go to live with distant relatives? Other Jews? (I’m guessing one of those?)

Or did he flee and live among non-Jews, or even hiding out in the wilderness?

Well, Joseph was a carpenter so likely he was able to support himself.

Interesting question, and I have no idea - never heard it talked about. The only thing I could think of was that Rich Mullins song - My Deliverer.
