Genesis 41:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 41:9

7 And the seven thin heads devoured the seven plump and full heads. So Pharaoh awoke, and indeed, it was a dream.

8 Now it came to pass in the morning ^athat his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all ^bthe magicians of Egypt and all its ^cwise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them for Pharaoh.

9 Then the ^achief butler spoke to Pharaoh, saying: “I remember my faults this day.

10 When Pharaoh was ^aangry with his servants, ^band put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, both me and the chief baker,

11 ^awe each had a dream in one night, he and I. Each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream.

12 Now there was a young ^aHebrew man with us there, a ^bservant of the captain of the guard. And we told him, and he ^cinterpreted our dreams for us; to each man he interpreted according to his own dream.

13 And it came to pass, just ^aas he interpreted for us, so it happened. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.”

14 ^aThen Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they ^bbrought him quickly ^cout of the dungeon; and he shaved, ^dchanged his clothing, and came to Pharaoh.

15 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. ^aBut I have heard it said of you that you can understand a dream, to interpret it.”
