But the Lord was still with Joseph in his great trouble, so that he
found favor with the keeper of the prison, who treated him most kindly,
and Joseph sought in many ways to relieve the suffering and sorrow of
those in the prison with him.
One day he helped two of the king's servants by telling them the meaning
of two strange dreams they had, for dreams in those olden days were
often sent to people by God to warn them, or prepare them for something
which would happen, and God gave to Joseph the wisdom to understand the
meaning and interpretation of those dreams. Thus, when the two servants
were troubled because of their dreams, Joseph told them the meaning. One
servant was released from the prison, and as he left, Joseph asked that
he might remember him when he came before the king, that he, too, might
be released. But the servant, when he was free, forgot the one who had
helped him when in trouble.
Two years passed away, and Joseph remained in prison, but he still
trusted in his God.
One night Pharaoh, the King of Egypt, was much troubled by his strange
dreams.
