 As found in Scherman, "The Stone Edition of the Chumash,” p.227 – Various Rabbis comment on Midrash Tanchuma whereby it is told in the second year of the famine, everyone else’s stockhouses of grain rotted except for Joseph’s. When the people came to Joseph for food, he demanded that they circumcised themselves, which was part of the preparations that Joseph was making for his brothers’ descent into Egypt. Chaim Miller, in his lecture Torah in Ten: Mikeitz, relays that these are souls that would commit the sin of the Golden Calf.
