God is also using those dreams to vault their interpreter into power. Joseph recommends that Pharaoh appoint a wise steward, and Pharaoh reasons that Joseph is that man.

Thank you, Dan.

The USA needs more Josephs!!!!!
God raises them up as He sees fit.
Good way to get run out of town on a rail, or sold down the river, posthaste (de Nile)!
V28 on Gardiner's sign list:
rebus principle: (linguistics) The idea of using ideograms as phonograms representing the sounds* of the words expressed by the original ideograms.𓎛
Glyph origin
Representing a lamp wick of twisted flax. The uppermost loop is often the biggest of the three. These wicks were generally made of a folded strip of fabric twisted tightly and soaked in unused fat. This glyph was conventionally colored green. The phonogrammatic value of ḥ is derived by the rebus principle from ḥꜥt (“wick”).
(Lampwick: a delinquent boy)
Genesis 40
16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head:
17 And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.
18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:
19 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
* "hang": type while set to the Hebrew keyboard layout and outcomes
Meaning he/it will hear, or he/it will be heard, he/it will be made a sound.
Speaking of "the phonogrammatic value of ḥ", I was thinking I should do a thread on the wine-whine merger, because in Hebrew, it's literal.
Eh, then I'd end up maybe torquing a few people off just on general principle! 🫤
