Genesis 41
41:1 And
it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh
a
dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
(
a) This dream was not so much for Pharaoh, as is
was a means to deliver Joseph and to provide for God's Church.
41:5
And he slept and dreamed the
b second
time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
(
b) All these means God used to deliver his
servant, and to bring him into favour and authority.
41:8 And
it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was
c
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.
(
c) This fear was enough to teach him that this
vision was sent by God.
41:9 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh,
saying, I
e do remember my faults this
day:
(
e) He confesses his fault against the king
before he speaks of Joseph.
41:14
Then Pharaoh sent and called
f Joseph,
and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved [himself], and
changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
(
f) The wicked seek the prophets of God in their
time of need, while in their prosperity they abhor them.
41:16 And Joseph answered
Pharaoh, saying,
g [It is] not in me:
God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
(
g) As though he would say if I interpret your
dream it comes from God, and not from me.
41:25
And Joseph said unto Pharaoh,
h The
dream of Pharaoh [is] one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he [is] about to do.
(
h) Both his dreams have the same message.
41:33
Now therefore let Pharaoh
i look out a
man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
(
i) The office of a true prophet is not only to
show the evils to come, but also the remedies for the same.
41:38
And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find [such a one] as this [is], a man
in whom the
k Spirit of God [is]?
(
k) No one should be honoured who does not have
gifts from God fitting for the same.
41:40 Thou shalt be over my
house, and according unto thy
l word
shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
(
l) Some read, "the people will kill your
mouth", that is obey you in all things.
41:43
And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried
before him,
m Bow the knee: and he made
him [ruler] over all the land of Egypt.
(
b) Or "Abrech": a sign of honour; a
word some translate, tender father or father of the king, or kneel down.
41:46
And Joseph [was]
n thirty years old when
he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of
Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
(
n) His age is mentioned both to show that his
authority came from God, and also that he endured imprisonment and exile for
twelve years or more.
41:51
And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, [said he], hath
made me forget all my toil, and all my
o
father's house.
(
o) Nonetheless, his father's house was the
true Church of God: yet the company of the wicked and prosperity caused him to
forget it.
