Pharaoh's Dreams

(8)  And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof:  and Pharaoh told them his dream but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.

(9)  Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying,  I do remember my faults this day;

(10) Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house, both me and the chief baker:

(11) And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he;  we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.

(12) And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams;  to each man, according to his dream, he did interpret.

(13) And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was;  me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.

(14) Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon:  and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.

Was Joseph a dreamer or an interpreter?

Pharaoh's dreams:

(1)  AND IT came to pass at the end of two full years that Pharaoh dreamed; and, behold, he stood by the river.

(2)  And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well-favoured kine and fatfleshed, and they fed in a meadow.

(3)  And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed, and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.

(4)  And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven wellfavoured and fat kine.  So Pharaoh awoke.

(5)  And he slept and dreamed the second time:  and, behold; seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.

(6)  And,  behold,  seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.

(7)  And the seven thin ears devoured the sen rank and full ears.  And Pharaoh awoke and, behold, it was a dream.

Joseph interprets dreams

(15)  For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews:  and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.

(16)  When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head:

(17)  And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharoah:  and the birds did eat them of the basket upon my head.

(18)  And Joseph answered and said,  This is the interpretation thereof:  The three baskets are three days.

(19)  Yet within three days shall Pharoah lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree, and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee,

(20)  And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharoah's birthday that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.

(21)  And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again:  and he gave the cup into Pharoah's hand:

(22)  But he hanged the chief baker as Joseph had interpreted to them.

(23)  Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.

ADDENDUM:

Is there a hidden purpose of Jehovah God, which is why; the Chief Butler and the Chief Baker both would forget to mention Joseph to Pharoah?

Joseph interprets dreams

(8)  And they said unto him;  We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it.  And Joseph said unto them,  Do not interpretations belong to God?  tell me then,  I pray you.

(9)  And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him.  In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;

(10) And in the vine were three branches:  and it was as though it budded; and her blossoms shot forth, and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes.

(11) And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand:  and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharoah's cup; and I gave the cup into Pharoah's hand.

(12) And Joseph said unto him:  This is the interpretation of it?  The three branches are three days:

(13) Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh.s cup into his hand; after the former manner when thou wast his butler.

(14) But think of me when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness,  I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:

When Joseph interpreted the dreams of his coprisoners, did Jehovah God used his gift of interpretation for his own benefit?

Joseph and Potiphar:

(3)  And his master saw that the LORD was with him. and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

(4)  And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him:  and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.

(5)  And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake;  and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.

(6)  And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and he knew not aught he had, save the bread which he did eat'  And Joseph was a goodly person, and welllfavoured.

(7)  And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said,  Lie with me.

Judah and Tamar:

(22)  And he returned to Judah, and said.  I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place.

(23)  And Judah said,  Let her take it to her,  lest we be shamed:  behold,  I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.

(24)  And it came to pass about three months after that it was told Judah, saying,  Tamar, thy daughter-in-law hath played the harlot:  and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom.   And Judah said,  Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.

(25)  When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying,  By the man, whose these are, am I with child:  and she said,  Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff.

(26)  And Judah acknowledged them, and said.  she hath been more righteous than I;  because that I gave her not to Shelah my son.  And he knew her again no more.

(27)  And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.

(28)  And it came to pass when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying,  This came out first.

(29)  And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out:  and she said,  How hast thou broken forth?  this breach be upon thee:  therefore his name was called Pharex.

(30)  And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand:  and his name was called Zerah.

Judah and Tamar:

(15)  When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot;  because she had covered her face.

(16)  And he turned unto her by the way, and said,  Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee;  (for he knew not that she was his daughter-in-law.)  And she said,  What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?

(17)  And he said,  I will send thee a kid from the flock,  And she said,  Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it"

(18)  And he said,  What pledge shall I give thee?  And she said,  Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand.  And he gave it her and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.

(19)  And she arose, and went away, and laid by her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.

(20)  And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand:  but he found her not.

(21)  Then he asked the man of that place, saying,  Where is the harlot, that was openly by the wayside?  And they said,  There was no harlot in this place.

(9)  And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.

(10) And the thing which he did displeased the LORD:  wherefore he slew him also.

(11) Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter-in-law.  Remain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown:  for he said,  Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did.  And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.

(12) And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died, and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.

(13) And it was told Tamar, saying.  Behold thy father-in-law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.

(14) And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her with a veil. and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath;  for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.

(33)  And he knew it, and said'  It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him;  Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.

(34)  And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.

(35)  And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted; and he said,  For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning.  Thus his father wept for him.

(24)  And they took him, and cast him into a pit:  and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.

(25)  And they sat down to eat bread:  and they lifted up their eyes and look, and, behold; a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt. 

(26)  And Judah said unto his brethren,  What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
