From Prison to Palace

Name Date

Read the Story

Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, had two strange dreams. Seven skinny cows ate seven fat cows. Then seven thin heads of grain swallowed seven full heads of grain. No one could tell him what the dreams meant.

The cupbearer remembered Joseph! Pharaoh sent for him. Joseph said he could not do it, but God would give the answer. God showed Joseph that there would be seven years with lots of food, and then seven years with no food.

Pharaoh said, Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God? He made Joseph a ruler over all of Egypt. Joseph saved lots of grain during the good years. When the hungry years came, there was food for everyone.

Memory Verse

Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It isn’t in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”
