Joseph Interprets Pharaoh's Dream in the PalaceBible World

Genesis 41:14

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.

After two more years in gloomy prison, the Lord gave Pharaoh remarkable dreams that left the king troubled in the morning. Pharaoh told his dreams to the magicians of Egypt and the wise men, who had a reputation for solving difficulties, but with all their magic and boasted wisdom they could not explain them, and his perplexity and distress increased. Then the chief butler remembered Joseph with conviction of forgetfulness and ingratitude and told Pharaoh how Joseph had interpreted his and the baker's dreams exactly. It was humiliating for Pharaoh to turn away from the magicians and wise men of his kingdom to a Hebrew servant and slave, but because his learned and wise men had failed him he condescended to accept humble service to gain relief for his troubled mind.

Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, summoning him urgently from prison. They brought him hastily out of the dungeon, marking his sudden passage from imprisonment to the king's presence. Before appearing he shaved himself and changed his clothing, putting off his prison clothes whose condition reflected his long confinement and disgrace. He came in to Pharaoh to hear the dream.

When called from the dungeon Joseph was a servant of captives and a prey of ingratitude and malice, yet true to his allegiance to the God of heaven, and all Egypt marveled at the wisdom of the man whom God instructed. God placed him next to the throne of the world's greatest empire to make him a light-bearer, manifesting Himself through Joseph not to Egypt alone but to all nations connected with that kingdom, so that heavenly illumination might extend far and near. By his wisdom and justice, by the purity and benevolence of his daily life, and by his devotion to the interests of the people though they were idolaters, Joseph was a representative of Christ, so that in their benefactor whom all Egypt thanked and praised the heathen people and through them all connected nations were to behold the love of their Creator and Redeemer.
