You shall be in charge of my palace, and all my people are to submit to your orders. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you. The elevation of Joseph to second in command over all Egypt is the fulfillment of the dream of the bowing sheaves — though not yet in the form the dream showed. The application: the covenant promise given in the dream is being fulfilled through the most improbable chain of events — pit, slavery, prison, forgotten by the cupbearer, and now standing before Pharaoh. God's word does not fail.
