“In the morning he found himself so upset that he summoned all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. Pharaoh told them his dream, but no one there could interpret them for him.”
Genesis 41:8
It happened that Pharaoh had lost sleep due to a dream that he could not understand. Pharaoh called the magicians and wise men of Egypt to help, but they too were unable to give this dream meaning. Reminded of his short time in prison, Pharaoh’s chief cupbearer also had had a dream which Yosef had interpreted. With this memory, the cupbearer spoke.
Yosef was summoned before Pharaoh and told to interpret the dream. Where were all the laughs and bitter resentments of his brothers now? Now he stood before the very one who ruled over Egypt. In a moment where he could have spoken in pride, Yosef spoke in humility. Giving all glory to Adonai, Yosef spoke to the royal audience of his inability and humanness. So again I point out, when Adonai’s timing and Adonai’s Word intersect, ‘suddenly’ happens. For Yosef, suddenly was happening now.
Genesis 41:1-16
