📚 Historical Context

In the biblical narrative, Joseph was a Hebrew who had been sold into slavery by his brothers and ended up in Egypt, where he was imprisoned after being falsely accused. After successfully interpreting dreams for Pharaoh's imprisoned officials, he was summoned to explain Pharaoh's own dreams of seven healthy cows and seven gaunt cows, as well as seven plump ears of grain and seven withered ones. Joseph revealed that these dreams were not mere coincidences but a single message from God foretelling seven years of abundance followed by seven years of severe famine.
