relates his dream to Yosef his new
favorite dream interpreter and he says
listen Joseph if I saw these beautiful
cows be eaten by these nasty cows in
this beautiful wheat be consumed by this
terrible wheat and I said it to all of
my friends and no one was able to help
me can you help me I've heard that you
know how to interpret dreams and Yosef
pulls the religion card and he says
I'm not the one who interprets dreams it
is of course God Hashem interprets
dreams here's what your dream means your
dream means they're going to be seven
years of bumper crop you're going to
have wealth like you couldn't even
possibly imagine hand over fist produce
amazing but then it's going to be
followed up on the heels of the seven
years of plenty with seven years of such
utter horrific famine that you won't
even remember the good years the bad
years will be so bad you won't remember
any of the deliciousness that you had
just moments before
and the reason Yosef says that God did
this twice and gave you the same dream
twice was to show you that it's coming
now this is headed at you very fast and
then Joseph continues and sister Paro
viato is
and now what you should do Paro is you
should find a really really smart dude
an insightful and smart guy and you
should establish him over the entirety
of the country then you'll begin with
crop rotations and you'll set up these
gigantic silos in all the different
regions and cities of Egypt and then
when the bad years come you'll be able
to Dole out the food to everybody and
Paro is so amazingly impressed by Josef
and he turns to all his advisors and he
says wow how can anyone have such
incredible understanding of God's mind
and I would like to leave you just with
a very simple question I mean
I get that there's gonna be a famine but
like you know storing food so that you
could have it in the bad times not
exactly an original thought I mean
probably you or I could have come up
with that if we knew about the famine so
let's try to understand what it is that
Paro thought was so impressive about
Yosef see you tomorrow for shlishy
