Ruben Diary Entry

Entry 1:
I have received this book from by brother, Ruben. He gave it to me when I was trapped in the cistern when my brothers were away working. Ruben told me to write in it so people will know what happened to me. He told be he swiped it from my father’s blank books he was planning on writing in. I guess I should start from the beginning….
It all started with my father, Jacob, who gave me a fancy coat. My brothers interpreted this as he loved me more than them and they distanced themselves from me. A couple days later I had this dream. My brothers and I were binding sheaves of grain and my bundle rose higher than theirs and the sheaves of my brothers started bowing down to mine. Then a couple of nights later I had a dream that the sun, moon
I have heard rumors that the Pharaoh has also been troubled with a dream. Apparently he sent for many magicians and wise men in Egypt to interpret the dream. I hope God will give the Pharaoh guidance regarding his dream.
Entry 6 The cupbearer told the Pharaoh about my ability and I was sent for to help interpret the Pharaoh's dream. He told me that he was standing in the bank of the Nile and seven fat cows showed up. The he told me that another seven cows showed up but they were skinny and ugly. Then the skinny and ugly cows ate the fat ones. Then he told be about his other dream. The Pharaoh saw seven heads of good grain growing on a stalk. Then seven others sprouted but the second seven were withered. Then, like the cows, the seven skinny heads of grain ate the first seven.
I concluded that the two dreams meant the same thing. The seven good cows and heads of grain meant seven good years of harvest. The seven ugly cows and withered grain meant seven years of famine. I advised the Pharaoh to take one fifth of the grain during the seven years of abundance and save it. The Pharaoh was so thankful that he appointed me in charge of his palace I will be second in command. Thanks be to
