Joseph kept himself close enough to the Lord that he could recognize the interpretation of Pharaoh’s dream. I almost wonder if Joseph had already been shown the same truths about years of plenty years if famine before he was called before Pharaoh.
On the other hand, he was human enough to not instantly forgive his brothers when he saw them again.
I hadn’t realized that Jacob blessed Pharaoh after he came to Egypt. I also didn’t realize that Jacob lived for 17 years after coming to Egypt out that he came to Egypt in the year that Isaac died.
