When Joseph is imprisoned in Egypt, God helps him interpret the dreams of Pharaoh’s cupbearer and baker. Joseph is brought to Pharaoh to interpret his dream of seven fat cows followed by seven skinny cows. Joseph interprets this to mean seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine. Joseph identifies a way Egypt might survive and Pharaoh is so taken by Joseph’s interpretation that he puts Joseph in charge of the project. When famine hits and Joseph’s family needs help, he forgives them and saves them from starving.
