CB I put it down to some mouldy cheese.
AN Incorrect, the correct answer is a vision from God. How did Joseph get out of Jail?
CB I told the Pharaoh that Joseph would be able to interpret his dream, tell him what it meant.
AN Correct, what did (beep) I’ve started the question so I’ll finish – what did Joseph say the dream meant.
CB Well, the seven fat cows were seven good years, so we’d have good harvests. The thin cows showed that then there would be seven years with no food. He told the Pharaoh to store up food during the good times and he was put in charge of making the arrangements.
AN Correct, Well Mr. Walker you have 15 correct answers and one pass. Thankyou – can we have the next contestant please…
