“And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.”
We both had dreams, they answered, but there is no one to interpret them. Then Joseph said to them: do not interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams. The declaration that interpretations belong to God is Joseph's theological positioning — he is not offering his own skill but God's gift. The application: the person who attributes their gift to God before using it is the person who is clear about the source of what they carry. Interpretations belong to God; Joseph tells the dreams.
