NAS Genesis 40:8 Then they said to him, "We have had a

"Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell it to me, please."
NAS Genesis 41:8 8 Now it came about in the
morning that his spirit was troubled, so he sent and called for all the
magicians of Egypt, and all its wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but
there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
15 And Pharaoh said to Joseph,
"I have had a dream, but no one can interpret it; and I have heard it said
about you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it." (Joseph dream

Interpretation
NAS Genesis 40:5 Then the cupbearer and the baker for the
king of Egypt, who were confined in jail, both had a dream the same night, each
man with his own dream and each dream with its own interpretation.
12 Then Joseph said to him,
"This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days;
(Joseph dream interpreter.)
18 Then Joseph answered and said,
"This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days;
NAS Genesis 41:11 "And we had a dream on the same night,
he and I; each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream.
NAS Judges 7:15 And it came about when Gideon heard the
account of the dream and its interpretation, that he bowed in worship. He
returned to the camp of Israel and said, "Arise, for the LORD has given
the camp of Midian into your hands."
NAS Ecclesiastes 8:1 Who is like the wise man and who knows the
interpretation of a matter? A man's wisdom illumines him and causes his stern
face to beam. (All)
NAS Daniel 2:4 Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Aramaic: "O king, live
forever! Tell the dream to your servants, and we will declare the
interpretation."
5 The king answered and said to the
Chaldeans, "The command from me is firm: if you do not make known to me
the dream and its interpretation, you will be torn limb from limb, and your
houses will be made a rubbish heap.
6 "But if you declare the
dream and its interpretation, you will receive from me gifts and a reward and
great honor; therefore declare to me the dream and its
interpretation."
7 They answered a second time and
said, "Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and we will declare
the interpretation."
9 that if you do not make the dream
known to me, there is only one decree for you. For you have agreed together to
speak lying and corrupt words before me until the situation is changed; therefore tell me the dream, that I may know that you can
declare to me its interpretation."
16 So Daniel went in and requested
of the king that he would give him time, in order that he might declare the
interpretation to the king. (Daniel the interpreter.)
24 Therefore, Daniel went in to
Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went
and spoke to him as follows: "Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon! Take
me into the king's presence, and I will declare the interpretation to the
king." (Daniel the interpreter.)
25 Then Arioch hurriedly brought
Daniel into the king's presence and spoke to him as follows: "I have found
a man among the exiles from Judah who can make the interpretation known to the
king!"
26 The king answered and said to
Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, "Are you able to make known to me the
dream which I have seen and its interpretation?"
30 "But as for me, this
mystery has not been revealed to me for any wisdom residing in me more than in
any other living man, but for the purpose of making the
interpretation known to the king, and that you may understand the thoughts of
your mind.
36 "This was the dream;
now we shall tell its interpretation before the king.
45 "Inasmuch as you saw that a
stone was cut out of the mountain without hands and that it crushed the iron,
the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the great God has made known to
the king what will take place in the future; so the
dream is true, and its interpretation is trustworthy."
NAS Daniel 4:6 "So I gave orders to bring into my presence all the wise men of
Babylon, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.
7 "Then the magicians, the
conjurers, the Chaldeans, and the diviners came in, and I related the dream to
them; but they could not make its interpretation known to me.
9 'O Belteshazzar, chief of the
magicians, since I know that a spirit of the holy gods is in you and no mystery
baffles you, tell me the visions of my dream which I have seen, along
with its interpretation.
18 'This is the dream which I,
King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen. Now you, Belteshazzar, tell me its
interpretation, inasmuch as none of the wise men of my kingdom is able to make
known to me the interpretation; but you are able, for a spirit of the holy gods
is in you.'
19 "Then Daniel, whose name is
Belteshazzar, was appalled for a while as his thoughts alarmed him. The king
responded and said, 'Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation
alarm you.' Belteshazzar answered and said, 'My lord, if only the dream
applied to those who hate you, and its interpretation to your adversaries!
24 this is the interpretation, O
king, and this is the decree of the Most High, which
has come upon my lord the king:
NAS Daniel 5:7 The king called aloud to bring in the conjurers, the Chaldeans and the
diviners. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, "Any man who
can read this inscription and explain its interpretation to me will be clothed
with purple, and have a necklace of gold around his neck, and have
authority as third ruler in the kingdom."
8 Then all the king's wise men came
in, but they could not read the inscription or make known its interpretation to
the king.
12 "This was because an
extraordinary spirit, knowledge and insight, interpretation of dreams,
explanation of enigmas, and solving of difficult problems were found in this
Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Let Daniel now be summoned, and he
will declare the interpretation." (Daniel the interpreter.)
15 "Just now the wise men and
the conjurers were brought in before me that they might read this
inscription and make its interpretation known to me, but they could not declare
the interpretation of the message.
16 "But I personally have
heard about you, that you are able to give interpretations and solve difficult
problems. Now if you are able to read the inscription and make its
interpretation known to me, you will be clothed with purple and wear a
necklace of gold around your neck, and you will have authority as the third ruler
in the kingdom."
17 Then Daniel answered and said
before the king, "Keep your gifts for yourself, or give your rewards to
someone else; however, I will read the inscription to the king and make the
interpretation known to him.
26 "This is the interpretation
of the message: 'MENE '-- God has numbered your kingdom and put an end to it.
NAS Daniel 7:16 "I approached one of those who were
standing by and began asking him the exact meaning of all this. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of
these things:
NAS 1 Corinthians 12:10 and to another the effecting of miracles,
and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to
another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of
tongues. (“to another the interpretation of tongues”)
NAS 1 Corinthians 14:26 What is the outcome then, brethren?
When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has
a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification. (“has
a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification”)
NAS 2 Peter 1:20 But know this first of all, that no
prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, (All)

"Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell it to me, please."
NAS Daniel 5:16 "But I personally have heard about
you, that you are able to give interpretations and solve difficult problems.
Now if you are able to read the inscription and make its interpretation known
to me, you will be clothed with purple and wear a necklace of gold
around your neck, and you will have authority as the third ruler in the
kingdom."
Interpreted
NAS Genesis 40:16 When the chief baker saw that he had
interpreted favorably, he said to Joseph, "I also saw in my dream,
and behold, there were three baskets of white bread on my head;
22 but he hanged the chief baker,
just as Joseph had interpreted to them.
NAS Genesis 41:12 "Now a Hebrew youth was with us
there, a servant of the captain of the bodyguard, and we related them to
him, and he interpreted our dreams for us. To each one he interpreted according
to his own dream.
13 "And it came about that
just as he interpreted for us, so it happened; he restored me in my office, but
he hanged him."
Interpreter
NAS Genesis 42:23 They did not know, however, that Joseph
understood, for there was an interpreter between them.
NAS 1 Corinthians 14:28 but if there is no interpreter, let him
keep silent in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God. (All)
Interprets
NAS Deuteronomy 18:10 "There shall not be found among you
anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses
divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a
sorcerer,
NAS 1 Corinthians 14:5 Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues,
but even more that you would prophesy; and greater is one who prophesies
than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may
receive edifying. (Interpret edifying relationship.)
