Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 40:8

8 And they said unto him, we have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it . And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God ? tell me them, I pray you.

To wit, with us, or to whom we can now resort; for otherwise there were many in Egypt of that profession, chap. 41. 8.

In vain do you expect such things from your wisemen, for it is onely that God who sends these dreams that can interpret them, and to him you should seek for it.

Who am the servant of the true God, who useth to communicate his secrets to his people, and who, I doubt not, will he[illegible: 1+ letters]r my prayers for this mercy. This he spoke by special direction and instinct from God, who had given this gift to him.
