Genesis 41:15 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Genesis 41:15

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.”

16 So Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, ^a“It is not in me; ^bGod will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”

17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph: “Behold, ^ain my dream I stood on the bank of the river.

Genesis 41:15-16

Pharaoh said, . . . I have dreamed a dream—The king's brief statement of the service required brought out the genuine piety of Joseph; disclaiming all merit, he ascribed whatever gifts or sagacity he possessed to the divine source of all wisdom, and he declared his own inability to penetrate futurity; but, at the same time, he expressed his confident persuasion that God would reveal what was necessary to be known.
