8 So in the morning his spirit was ^qtroubled, and ^rhe sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, ^sbut there was none who could interpret them to Pharaoh.

2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners and said, “What shall we do with the ark of the Lord? Tell us with what we shall send it to its place.”

2 Then the king ^lcommanded that the magicians, the enchanters, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans be summoned to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.

6 ^pSo I made a decree that all the wise men of Babylon should be brought before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.

7 The king ^vcalled loudly to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers. The king declared¹ to the wise men of Babylon, ^w“Whoever reads this writing, and shows me its interpretation, shall be ^xclothed with purple and have a chain of gold around his neck and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”
