Ge 47:11 And Joseph situated his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.

 12 Then Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all his father's household with bread, according to the number in their families.

The Israelites, Moses' original readers, must realize that just as God used a Joseph to settle their forefathers in the best of the land of Egypt and provide for them, God is now using Moses to do the same as they journey towards the land of promise.
