Pharaoh has two dreams.9. Joseph interprets them. 33. He gives Pharaoh counsel, and is highly advanced, and married. 46. The seven years of plenty. 50. He begets children. 53. The famine begins. So Pharaoh asked them Pharaoh, the ruler of Egypt, is depicted as a powerful figure whose decisions impact the entire nation. In the context of Genesis 41, Pharaoh has experienced troubling dreams that none of his magicians or wise men can interpret. This sets the stage for Joseph, who has been imprisoned, to be brought before Pharaoh. The act of Pharaoh asking his officials highlights the desperation and urgency of the situation. It also underscores the divine orchestration at play, as God uses this moment to elevate Joseph. Historically, Egyptian Pharaohs were considered divine or semi-divine, making Pharaoh's acknowledgment of Joseph's unique abilities significant. “Can we find anyone like this man in whom the Spirit of God abides?” Persons / Places / Events 1.

Like Joseph, we should seek God's guidance in all situations, trusting that He will provide the insight we need. Faithfulness in Adversity Joseph's journey shows that faithfulness in difficult times can lead to greater opportunities to serve God and others. We are encouraged to remain steadfast in our faith. Empowerment by the Holy Spirit The Spirit of God empowers believers for service and witness. We should seek to be filled with the Spirit, allowing Him to work through us for God's glory.(38) In whom the Spirit of God is.--Joseph from the first declared that he neither claimed for himself, nor possessed any art of divination, but that "Elohim would answer (that which would be for) the peace of Pharaoh" (Genesis 41:16). And not only does Pharaoh now recognise the truth of Joseph's words, but sees also in him the instrument by which Elohim had spoken. But besides the interpretation of the dreams, Joseph had given the king wise and prudent advice, and he justly felt that one so gifted by God, and so intelligent in counsel, was the person best fitted to carry Egypt through the years of trouble in store for her.
