“And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.”
Then Joseph said to Pharaoh: the dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same. God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do. The declaration — the dreams are one — is the interpretive key. The two dreams are not two messages but one message doubled. And the source is stated: God has revealed. The application: the unity of the message and the divine source are the two theological anchors of Joseph's interpretation.
