Ask a QuestionAnd it was told Tamar, saying, "Look, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep."
Then he said, "What pledge shall I give you?" So she said, "Your signet and cord, and your staff that is in your hand." Then he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him.
Then he asked the men of that place, saying, "Where is the harlot who was openly by the roadside?" And they said, "There was no harlot in this place."
And it came to pass, about three months after, that Judah was told, saying, "Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the harlot; furthermore she is with child by harlotry." So Judah said, "Bring her out and let her be burned!"
But he refused and said to his master's wife, "Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand.
"There is no one greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?"
And they said to him, "We each have had a dream, and there is no interpreter of it." So Joseph said to them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me, please."
And Joseph said to him, "This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days.
"But remember me when it is well with you, and please show kindness to me; make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house.
So Joseph answered and said, "This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days.
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."
So Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace."
Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dreams of Pharaoh are one; God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do:
"This is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.
"And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
And Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?"
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.
And he said, "Indeed I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down to that place and buy for us there, that we may live and not die."
And they said, "Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and in fact, the youngest is with our father today, and one is no more."
But Joseph said to them, "It is as I spoke to you, saying, 'You are spies!'
