Explanation

(1) Pharaoh had two disturbing dreams; none of his magicians/wise men was able to interprete them.

(2) His chief butler recalled his days in prison when Joseph correctly interpreted his dream.

(3) Pharaoh sent for Joseph and narrated his dreams. 

4) Pharaoh stood by River Nile and seven fat and thin cows came to feed.

(5) But the seven thin ones ate up the seven fat ones.

(6) He also dreamt about the following - seven ears, good and full and seven withered, thin ones.

(7) The withered, thin ones swallowed up the seven good ears.

(8) Joseph told him the two dreams were the same, signifying seven years of plenty and seven years of famine.

(9) Pharaoh should, therefore, select a prudent man to take charge of food storage in Egypt.

(10) There should be overseers to collect a fifth of all harvests during seven years of plenty.

(11) Food so gathered to be stored in reserve for the lean years.

(12) Pharaoh, delighted by Joseph's suggestion wondered whether a more discreet person than Joseph could be found anywhere.

(13) Therefore, he appointed Joseph to take full charge over all Egypt.

(14) He gave royal assent to the appointment by publicly putting his symbol of authority on him.

(15) He made him his second - in - command and gave him his daughter in marriage.

(b) Two qualities of Joseph:

(i) Anointing/wisdom, with which he correctly interpreted dreams and gave adequate solutions for tackling delicate situation.

(ii)Acknowledgement of God's control over human affairs.

(iii) Forthrightness/boldness in interpreting the dreams to Pharaoh.

(iv) Display of humility.

(v) Patience/perseverance.
