Kejadian 41:11-15

41:11 We each had a dream one night; each of us had a dream with its own meaning. ¹  41:12 Now a young man, a Hebrew, a servant ²  of the captain of the guards, ³  was with us there. We told him our dreams, ⁴  and he interpreted the meaning of each of our respective dreams for us. ⁵  41:13 It happened just as he had said ⁶  to us – Pharaoh ⁷  restored me to my office, but he impaled the baker.” ⁸ 

41:14 Then Pharaoh summoned ⁹  Joseph. So they brought him quickly out of the dungeon; he shaved himself, changed his clothes, and came before Pharaoh. 41:15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, ¹⁰  and there is no one who can interpret ¹¹  it. But I have heard about you, that ¹²  you can interpret dreams.” ¹³
