Kejadian 41:1

Joseph’s Rise to Power

41:1 At the end of two full years ¹  Pharaoh had a dream. ²  As he was standing by the Nile,

Kejadian 41:17

41:17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “In my dream I was standing ³  by the edge of the Nile.

[41:1]  ¹ tn Heb “two years, days.”

[41:1]  ² tn Heb “was dreaming.”

[41:17]  ³ tn Heb “In my dream look, I was standing.” The use of the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”) here (and also in vv. 18, 19, 22, 23) invites the hearer (within the context of the narrative, Joseph; but in the broader sense the reader or hearer of the Book of Genesis) to observe the scene through Pharaoh’s eyes.
