神藉著夜間的一個夢來到亞比米勒那裡，對他說：「看哪，因你接來的那女人的緣故，你就要死了！她是個有夫之婦！」

But God came to Abimelek in a dream one night and said to him,“ You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken; she is a married woman.”

But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night and said to him,“ Behold, you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is a man’s wife.”

But that night God came to Abimelech in a dream and told him,“ You are a dead man, for that woman you have taken is already married!”

But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night and said to him,“ You are about to die because of the woman you have taken, for she is a married woman.”

But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him,“ Behold, you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is married.”

But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him,“ Indeed you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is a man’s wife.”

But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, because of the woman whom thou hast taken; for she is a man’s wife.

But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night and said to him,“ You are about to die because of the woman you have taken, for she is a married woman.”

But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou[ art but] a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she[ is] a man’s wife.

But God appeared to Abimelech in a dream at night and said to him,“ You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken, for she is someone else’s wife.”

But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him,“ Behold, you are a dead man, because of the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man’s wife.”

Now return the man’s wife to him. He is a prophet. So he will pray for you, and you will live. But what if you do not return her? Then you can be sure that you and all your people will die.”

While Pilate was sitting on the judge’s seat, his wife sent him a message. It said,“ Don’t have anything to do with that man. He is not guilty. I have suffered a great deal in a dream today because of him.”

He might speak in a dream or in a vision at night. That’s when people are sound asleep in their beds.

But God didn’t allow anyone to treat them badly. To keep them safe, he gave a command to kings.

But as Joseph was thinking about this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. The angel said,“ Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take Mary home as your wife. The baby inside her is from the Holy Spirit.

In a dream he saw a stairway standing on the earth. Its top reached to heaven. The angels of God were going up and coming down on it.

Suppose I say to a sinful person,‘ You can be sure you will die.’ And then they turn away from their sin. They do what is fair and right.They return things they take to make sure loans are repaid. They give back what they have stolen. They obey my rules that give life. They do not do what is evil. Then you can be sure they will live. They will not die.

When two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream. In his dream, he was standing by the Nile River.Seven cows came up out of the river. They looked healthy and fat. They were eating some of the tall grass growing along the river.After them, seven other cows came up out of the Nile. They looked ugly and skinny. They were standing beside the other cows on the riverbank.The ugly, skinny cows ate up the seven cows that looked healthy and fat. Then Pharaoh woke up.He fell asleep again and had a second dream. In that dream, seven heads of grain were growing on one stem. They were healthy and good.After them, seven other heads of grain came up. They were thin and dried up by the east wind.The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy, full heads. Then Pharaoh woke up. It had been a dream.In the morning he was worried. So he sent for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams. But no one could tell him what they meant.Then the chief wine taster spoke up. He said to Pharaoh,“ Now I remember that I’ve done something wrong.Pharaoh was once angry with his servants. He put me and the chief baker in prison. We were in the house of the captain of the palace guard.Each of us had a dream the same night. Each dream had its own meaning.A young Hebrew servant was there with us. He was a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him our dreams. And he explained them to us. He told each of us the meaning of our dreams.Things turned out exactly as he said they would. I was given back my job. The other man had a pole stuck through his body.”So Pharaoh sent for Joseph. He was quickly brought out of the prison. Joseph shaved and changed his clothes. Then he came to Pharaoh.Pharaoh said to Joseph,“ I had a dream. No one can tell me what it means. But I’ve heard that when you hear a dream you can explain it.”“ I can’t do it,” Joseph replied to Pharaoh.“ But God will give Pharaoh the answer he wants.”Then Pharaoh told Joseph what he had dreamed. He said,“ I was standing on the bank of the Nile River.Seven cows came up out of the river. They were fat and looked healthy. They were eating the tall grass growing along the river.After them, seven other cows came up. They were bony and very ugly and thin. I had never seen such ugly cows in the whole land of Egypt.The thin, ugly cows ate up the seven fat cows that came up first.But no one could tell that the thin cows had eaten the fat cows. That’s because the thin cows looked just as ugly as they had before. Then I woke up.“ In my dream I also saw seven heads of grain. They were full and good. They were all growing on one stem.After them, seven other heads of grain came up. They were weak and thin and dried up by the east wind.The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads. I told my dream to the magicians. But none of them could explain it to me.”Then Joseph said to Pharaoh,“ Both of Pharaoh’s dreams have the same meaning. God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.The seven good cows are seven years. And the seven good heads of grain are seven years. Both dreams mean the same thing.The seven thin, ugly cows that came up later are seven years. So are the seven worthless heads of grain dried up by the east wind. They are seven years when there won’t be enough food.“ It’s just as I said to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what he’s about to do.Seven years with plenty of food are coming to the whole land of Egypt.But seven years when there won’t be enough food will follow them. Then everyone will forget about all the food Egypt had. Terrible hunger will destroy the land.There won’t be anything left to remind people of the years when there was plenty of food in the land. That’s how bad the hunger that follows will be.God gave the dream to Pharaoh in two forms. That’s because the matter has been firmly decided by God. And it’s because God will do it soon.“ So Pharaoh should look for a wise and understanding man. He should put him in charge of the land of Egypt.Pharaoh should appoint officials to be in charge of the land. They should take a fifth of the harvest in Egypt during the seven years when there’s plenty of food.They should collect all the extra food of the good years that are coming. Pharaoh should give them authority to store up the grain. They should keep it in the cities for food.The grain should be stored up for the country to use later. It will be needed during the seven years when there isn’t enough food in Egypt. Then the country won’t be destroyed just because it doesn’t have enough food.”

But God warned them in a dream not to go back to Herod. So they returned to their country on a different road.When the Wise Men had left, Joseph had a dream. In the dream an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph.“ Get up!” the angel said.“ Take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you to come back. Herod is going to search for the child. He wants to kill him.”

Joseph had a dream. When he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more.

“ A message came to me in secret. It was as quiet as a whisper.I had a scary dream one night. I was sound asleep.

Jonah began by going one whole day into the city. As he went, he announced,“ In 40 days Nineveh will be destroyed.”

Then Joseph had another dream. He told it to his brothers.“ Listen,” he said.“ I had another dream. This time the sun and moon and 11 stars were bowing down to me.”

Then God came to Laban, the Aramean, in a dream at night. He said to him,“ Be careful. Do not say anything to Jacob, whether it is good or bad.”

“ We both had dreams,” they answered.“ But no one can tell us what they mean.” Then Joseph said to them,“ Only God knows what dreams mean. Tell me your dreams.”
