On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

It was certainly a singular honor to be instructed concerning an event yet fourteen years future: for truly the will of God was manifested to Pharaoh, just as if he had been taught by the word, except that the interpretation of it was to be sought elsewhere.

John Calvin· Commentaries, 1554reformed

There is a time set for the deliverance of God's people; that time will come, though it seem to tarry; and, when it comes, it will appear to have been the best time, and therefore we ought to wait for it ( Hab. ii. 3 ), and not think two full years too long to continue waiting. The means of Joseph's enlargement, which were Pharaoh's dreams, here related.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Pharaoh dreamed--"Pharaoh," from an Egyptian word Phre, signifying the "sun," was the official title of the kings of that country. The prince, who occupied the throne of Egypt, was Aphophis, one of the Memphite kings, whose capital was On or Heliopolis, and who is universally acknowledged to have been a patriot king.
