Tell me your dreams
(Vs8)
More dreams are sounded. These are not Joseph’s dreams. His prisonmates dreams are sounded so that Joseph can sound back their meanings. And he does. Not only does Joseph sound dreams, he sounds back others’ dreams.
Joseph wants to be remembered. (Vs14) But he is forgotten. (Vs23)
The KJV says
he forgat him
The word ‘forgat’ is archaic. But to my contemporary ear it sounds stronger than ‘forgot’. It feels as though a memory has been dumped. It isn’t just the slow fading of memory but rather the near intentional discarding of memory.
‘Forgat’ itself is now a word that we have forgot. Sounds so easily get lost.
