5250. Verses 15-16 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it; and I have heard about you - it is said that when you hear a dream you can interpret it. And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, it is not mine; God will give an answer of peace, O Pharaoh.

'And Pharaoh said to Joseph' means a perception expressed by the natural but belonging to the celestial of the spiritual. 'I have dreamed a dream' means a foretelling. 'And there is no one who can interpret it' means ignorance about what it held within it. 'And I have heard about you means the ability of the celestial of the spiritual. 'It is said that when you hear a dream you can interpret it' means to discern what it is that things foreseen hold within them. 'And Joseph answered Pharaoh' means awareness. 'Saying, it is not mine' means that it does not have a purely human origin. 'God will give an answer of peace, O Pharaoh' means that the Divine Human was the origin of it, through its being joined to it.
