where they ate the best of the animals down in Egypt. The fat of the land refers to when fat
was a luxury and so considered the best pick, the cream of the crop.

The love of money is the root of all evil
1 Timothy 6:10
Money is known to cause all kind of problems. Social divisions, thievery, murder, and all sorts of others. Money itself is not inherently evil, but human desires for material wealth causes most problems in this world because of the desire for power in any form.

Romans 13:1-2
