“Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.”
So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and he was quickly brought from the dungeon. When he had shaved and changed his clothes, he came before Pharaoh. The removal from the dungeon, the shaving, the change of clothes — the physical preparation for the royal presence — are the rapid transformation of status. The application: the preparation for the significant encounter includes the practical physical preparation that honors the context. Joseph shaves and changes clothes before meeting Pharaoh.
