Genesis 41:1-2

When two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing by the Nile, when out of the river there came up seven cows, sleek and fat, and they grazed among the reeds.

From Background Notes [BN] for Sept 27th & 28th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

While having a general sense of who the Pharaoh was in the time of Joseph, the fact remains that from an Israelite perspective, it really didn’t matter who he was. After all...

...when you’ve met one Pharaoh, you’ve met them all! God’s people learned that truth about empires and their leaders, and how imperial power was a poor replacement for the sovereignty of Yahweh the God of Israel. In the case of Joseph, the providence of Yahweh trumped the policy of Egypt’s king — whoever he was.   [BN,4]
