On a dare from Alex....Something

A couple of weeks ago, Sarah posted about how Yaakov was the first to come up with something on Biology with the speckled/spotted and plain goats/sheep in Lavan's flocks. Moshe/Yisro also came up with something new for the court system with the court heirarchy.


Now it turns out that Yosef came up with something new as well. In Perek 41, he tells Pharaoh that he must save up food during the 7 years of plenty in order to have food for the 7 years of famine, thereby instituting the first food rationing and in the words of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, "The first recorded rationing in history was a hit!"

If you can think of any more feel free to comment! :)
