Pharaoh’s Dreams

41 When two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream:^(A) He was standing by the Nile,^(B)

⁸ In the morning his mind was troubled,^(A) so he sent for all the magicians^(B) and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.^(C)

¹⁴ So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and he was quickly brought from the dungeon.^(A) When he had shaved^(B) and changed his clothes,^(C) he came before Pharaoh.

¹⁵ Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, and no one can interpret it.^(D) But I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”^(E)

¹⁶ “I cannot do it,” Joseph replied to Pharaoh, “but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires.”^(F)
