Joseph Interpreted the Dream [08-07]
God had given Joseph the ability to interpret dreams, so Pharaoh had Joseph brought to him from the prison. Joseph interpreted the dreams for him and said, “God is going to send seven years of plentiful harvests, followed by seven years of famine.”
神给了约瑟解释梦的能力，所以法老让人把约瑟从监狱里带到他面前。约瑟解释了这两个梦的意思，说“神将会给埃及7个丰收年，然后再有7个饥荒年。”
