Genesis 41:14-16
14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him quickly out of the dungeon; and he shaved, changed his clothing, and came to Pharaoh.
15 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that you can understand a dream, to interpret it.”

14 法老随即差人去召约瑟，他们便急忙带他出监，他就剃头，刮脸，换衣裳，进到法老面前。
15 法老对约瑟说：“我做了一梦，没有人能解。我听见人说，你听了梦就能解。”16 约瑟回答法老说：“这不在乎我，神必将平安的话回答法老。”
