5220. Verse 8 And it happened early in the morning, that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called all the magi of Egypt, and all its wise men; and Pharaoh told them his dream, and there was no one to interpret them for Pharaoh.

'And it happened early in the morning' means in that new state. 'That his spirit was troubled' means a turmoil. 'And he sent and called all the magi of Egypt, and its wise men' means in consulting factual knowledge, interior as well as exterior. 'And Pharaoh told them the dream' means regarding things to come. 'And there was no one to interpret them for Pharaoh' means that no knowledge existed of what was going to happen.
