📚 Historical Context

In the book of Genesis, Joseph, who had been sold into slavery by his brothers, had risen to a position of influence in Egypt after accurately interpreting dreams. Pharaoh was troubled by two dreams that foretold seven years of plentiful harvests followed by seven years of severe famine, and Joseph, guided by God, explained their meaning to the ruler. In Genesis 41:28, Joseph affirms to Pharaoh that these revelations come directly from God as a warning of upcoming events.
