I
In Egypt jail
the dreamer interprets dreams.
Leads to his release.

II
Egypt’s future is
determined by Pharaoh and
one man’s dreamy cows.

III
A nice Jewish boy
Egypt’s second in command.
Dad would be so proud.

IV
Empty bellies bring
estranged brothers to town. Their
kin’s face a stranger.

V
Jacob. Still alive.
Wants to keep Benjamin that
way too. Hesitates.

VI
Turns out the party
was an intervention. The
brothers’ tests go on.

VII
Benjamin almost
lights up Joseph’s face. Then the
stolen goblet test.
