Joseph decreed that all of the Egyptians who came to procure grain fulfill the commandment of circumcision.
Joseph had prophetic vision, and he knew that the Egyptians were the sparks of holy souls which Adam had discharged by wasting his seed in the 130 years prior to the birth of his son Seth. They were then reincarnated as Egyptians.
