EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the moment of Joseph's exaltation by Pharaoh of Egypt as recorded in the biblical book of Genesis, chapter 41. In this ancient episode, Joseph, a Hebrew patriarch and interpreter of dreams, had been brought before Pharaoh to explain the meaning of his disturbing dreams. Impressed by Joseph's wisdom and insight, Pharaoh appointed him as the governor over Egypt and second in command to Pharaoh himself. The image captures the grandeur and power of the Egyptian court, with Pharaoh seated on his throne, dressed in the robes of royalty and surrounded by his army officers and advisors. Joseph, standing before him, is shown in humble submission, wearing the distinctive garment of an Egyptian official. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of horses and other animals, symbols of Pharaoh's wealth and military might. This engraving offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of ancient Egypt, a time of great significance in both Egyptian and Hebrew history. It is a reminder of the enduring influence of the Bible and its stories, which continue to captivate and inspire people of all ages and backgrounds. Whether viewed through the lens of religion, history, or art, this image invites us to reflect on the complex and fascinating world of the past.
