Read Genesis 41.1-24
41.1-57 Joseph interprets the dreams of Pharaoh.
This story marks the key turning point in the Joseph's fortunes: His ability as a dream interpreter elevates him to the second in command of all Egypt.
In verses 1-7: This is the third of the three dream sequences in the Joseph story.
The dreams again appear as a pair, one about cows (vv. 2-4) and one about grain (vv. 5-7).
The Nile River that runs through the otherwise dry landscape is Egypt's primary source of water, fertility, and life (vv. 1-4).
In verse 14: Joseph's change of clothes marks major transition in his life throughout the story (37.23; 39.12; 41.42).
The doubling demonstrates that God has predetermined the events that are soon to happen.
