Summary: Genesis 47 outlines the way that God provided for the people of Israel in response to a climatic event. This provision suggests to the church today a way of thinking about climate migration and how it can respond. Drawing on Genesis 47 and the limitations of current legal agreements, this article explores why the church should play its part in advocacy, but also in responding to the practical needs of today’s climate migrants.
