14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they quickly brought him out of the pit. And when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came in before Pharaoh.
15 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it."
After being sold into slavery in Egypt, Joseph is unjustly thrown in jail by his master when his master's wife makes sexual advances towards him and he refuses. From prison, Joseph briefly keeps company with servants of Pharaoh and correctly interprets their dreams. Now, much later, Pharaoh needs someone to interpret his dreams and word of Joseph's gift from God in understanding dreams reaches him.
Pharaoh calls for Joseph's help which begins Joseph's rapid rise to power in Egypt. He correctly interprets Pharaoh's dreams as warnings of the coming famine and works himself into a position of power in Egypt to help the people get through this famine. While Joseph is in power, his father and brothers come to Egypt for food and Joseph is able to give them some land. God's sovereign hand is seen at work in arranging these remarkable events which saved Israel and his family.
