Pharaoh had a second dream where he saw seven healthy heads of grain on a single stalk. Pharaoh woke and called for his advisors who could not explain the meaning of the dreams. The Royal Butler remembered Joseph in jail so Pharaoh summoned Joseph to the palace. Joseph explained that the cattle and grain both represented seven years of good harvest followed by seven years of famine.

Joseph advised Pharaoh that, during the good years, he should store up grain to feed the people through the famine.

Joseph the slave became second-in-command of Egypt.
