Joseph gathered during the 7 years of plentyi
Genesis 41:47-48
47 And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
48 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.
Jasher 50:7-9
7 And at the revolution of the year, in the second year of Joseph’s reigning over Egypt, the Lord gave great plenty throughout the land for seven years as Joseph had spoken, for the Lord blessed all the produce of the earth in those days for seven years, and they ate and were greatly satisfied.
8 And Joseph at that time had officers under him, and they collected all the food of the good years, and heaped corn year by year, and they placed it in the treasuries of Joseph.
9 And at any time when they gathered the food Joseph commanded that they should bring the corn in the ears, and also bring with it some of the soil of the field, that it should not spoil.
Jubilees 40:12-13
12 And in that year Isaac died. And it came to pass as Joseph had said in the interpretation of his two dreams, according as he had said it, there were seven years of plenty over all the land of Egypt, and the land of Egypt abundantly produced, one measure (producing) eighteen hundred measures.
13 And Joseph gathered food into every city until they were full of corn until they could no longer count and measure it for its multitude.
Genesis 41:49
49 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.
Jasher 50:10
10 And Joseph did according to this year by year, and he heaped up corn like the sand of the sea for abundance, for his stores were immense and could not be numbered for abundance.
Jasher 50:11-14
11 And also all the inhabitants of Egypt gathered all sorts of food in their stores in great abundance during the seven good years, but they did not do unto it as Joseph did.
12 And all the food which Joseph and the Egyptians had gathered during the seven years of plenty, was secured for the land in stores for the seven years of famine, for the support of the whole land.
13 And the inhabitants of Egypt filled each man his store and his concealed place with corn, to be for support during the famine.
14 And Joseph placed all the food that he had gathered in all the cities of Egypt, and he closed all the stores and placed sentinels over them.
i. Jubilees 40:12 states Joseph gathered during the year Isaac died which is impossible because Joseph was 24 when Isaac was 180, not 30. Genesis 41:46, Jasher 49:38, and Jubilees 40:11 state that Joseph was 30 years old and Jubilees 46:3 states Joseph was in prison for 3 years meaning he got out of prison at age 30.
