BRAGADAYJAH 134

So the Pharaoh dreamt a dream. In his dream he saw seven fat cows emerge from the river followed by seven lean cows, which ate up the fat cows. And having thus dreamt, he awoke and tried to make sense of the dream; but he couldn’t and in the midst of thinking, he fell asleep. Again while he slept he had another dream, this time about seven fat ears of corn upon one stalk, followed by seven thin ears, blasted by the East wind, and they eventually ate up the seven good ears. So once again the Pharaoh awoke and thought about his dreams but could not figure out what they meant. The next morning, the Pharaoh sent for all his magicians and wise men, and told them the dreams; but none of them were able to interpret the dreams for him. Of course all of this was very upsetting to the King and those who served him knew what he was capable of doing when he got angry, especially if he felt let down or betrayed by his top advisers. After all, did he not pay them handsomely for occasions such as this? Accordingly the King’s butler suddenly remembered Joseph. So he told the king about his encounter with the young Jewish boy Joseph. He told him how he and his companion, the baker had dreamt dreams and Joseph was able to interpret their dreams; that Joseph had told them how in 3 days he the butler would be restored, but that the baker would be hanged, which of course is exactly what happened. So pharaoh sent for Joseph out of prison. more
