Parashat
Miketz (At the end of two years)
Pharaoh
dreams two dreams. Easy to interpret, but none of his magicians were right in
the interpretation.
Then
comes Joseph, who has the correct interpretation. Pharaoh says: That is the
right one.
How
did Pharaoh know that was "the one"?
One
nice explanation is that when Pharaoh dreamed, together with the dream he got
the explanation of the dream. When he woke up he only remembered the dreams but
not the explanations.
Joseph's
explanation coincided with the explanation Pharaoh already knew but forgot.
Sometimes
reminders are as good as new explanations.
We
need to be thankful with those who teach us and to those who refresh our
memory, too.
