Description
Excerpt from Joseph: Or the Model Young Man
Sake, but for the king''s sake, he mentions Joseph''s name to Pharaoh; or rather speaks of him as a young Hebrew, who had given a true interpretation Of two dreams at least, and for aught he knew, might do the same of two more; and this intimation was sufficient to induce the king to send for him. Joseph, accordingly, as soon as he could change his raiment, came forth from his dungeon, and stood in the royal pre sence; and after an introduction which did great credit to Joseph''s piety, the king related to him his two dreams; at the same time declaring that none Of his magicians were able to interpret them. But Joseph immediately gave an interpretation he assured the king that they pointed to seven years Of plenty, which were to he succeeded by seven years of famine and advised him to make provision, during the season of abundance, for the time Of need. Pharaoh putting full confidence in Joseph''s interpretation, and perceiving the uncommon wisdom which he evinced, forthwith appointed him ruler over all the land of Egypt, and caused him to move in the splendour becoming the highest Official distinction.
