あらすじ・解説
Pharaoh dreams of seven healthy cows devoured by seven lean cows and seven full ears of grain consumed by seven thin ears. None of Pharaoh's magicians can interpret the dreams. Pharaoh’s cupbearer remembers Joseph, still imprisoned, and recommends him.
Joseph interprets the dreams as a warning from God: seven years of abundance will be followed by seven years of famine. He advises Pharaoh to appoint a wise administrator to prepare for the famine by storing surplus grain. Impressed, Pharaoh appoints Joseph as second-in-command over Egypt. Joseph is given authority, dressed in fine robes, and marries Asenath, daughter of an Egyptian priest. During the years of plenty, Joseph oversees the collection of surplus grain. He has two sons: Manasseh (God has made me forget my troubles) and Ephraim (God has made me fruitful in affliction). When the famine begins, people from all nations come to Egypt for food.
