What To Learn From Joseph A Bible Character (Part 4)

 

 

Pharaoh's dreams

After two years of the restoration of the chief butler, Pharaoh had two dreams in one night, one after the other. The first one was that seven good-looking and fat cows came out of a river, followed by seven ugly and gaunt cows. And the seven ugly and gaunt cows ate up the seven good-looking and fat cows, yet never changed in appearance.

And the second dream was that seven thin heads of grain, blighted by east wind ate up seven plump and good heads of grain, and didn't also change in appearance.

In the morning, Pharaoh called all the magicians and wise men to interpret the dreams, but none could interpret them for him.

 

The chief butler remembers Joseph

When no one could interpret the dreams, the chief butler remembered Joseph and told Pharaoh how Joseph interpreted his dream and the chief baker's dream. And how, everything happened to them according to Joseph's interpretation. Then, Pharaoh sent for Joseph and they made him to look presentable before seeing Pharaoh.

 

Joseph interprets Pharaoh's dreams

When Pharaoh told Joseph his dreams, Joseph told him that his dreams are the same. And that the seven good-looking cows and grains were seven years of abundance and that the seven ugly and thin cows and grains were seven years of famine. Also, Joseph told Pharaoh, that the famine will be such that nobody will ever remember the seven years of abundance. Read more...
