General Overview: Joseph interprets Pharaoh's dreams, becomes viceroy
over Egypt, and implements his plan to save the region from famine.
Joseph is harsh with his brothers who come to Egypt to buy food, and
demands that Benjamin be brought to Egypt. When Benjamin eventually
comes he is framed and accused of theft.
Aliya Summary:
Pharaoh had a dream: seven fat cows arose from the Nile, followed by
seven emaciated cows. The gaunt cows then consumed the robust ones. He
then had a second dream, wherein seven healthy ears of grain were eaten
by seven thin and parched ears. In the morning, none of Pharaoh's wise
men were capable of interpreting the dreams to Pharaoh's satisfaction.
Pharaoh's butler approached and related his past jailhouse experience,
when a Hebrew boy, Joseph, successfully interpreted dreams. Pharaoh
ordered Joseph's release, and he appeared before the king.
