Musar do Rodzaju 47:12
וַיְכַלְכֵּ֤ל יוֹסֵף֙ אֶת־אָבִ֣יו וְאֶת־אֶחָ֔יו וְאֵ֖ת כָּל־בֵּ֣ית אָבִ֑יו לֶ֖חֶם לְפִ֥י הַטָּֽף׃
I zaopatrywał Josef ojca swojego, i braci swoich, i cały dom ojca swego chlebem, stosownie do dziatwy.
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
ויכלכל יוסף ... לחם לפי הטף . Rashi (47,12) says that Joseph provided based on need. He did not provide luxuries. We must not seek luxuries in our lives. Jacob too said to the brothers: לכו שברו רעבון בתיכם, מעט אוכל "Go back, buy us a little food." We should eat only to still our hunger and not to fill our bellies (43,2).
