Double take

"The fact that Pharaoh dreamed the same dream twice emphasizes God's determination to do this and do it soon."

Is that the reason Joseph had two dreams that meant the same thing?

I especially like the naming of his second child, Ephraim, as this type of thing just happened in my life, "God has prospered me in the land of my sorrow."

From now on, his sons are almost exclusively referred to as Ephraim and Manasseh, continuing the trend of emphasizing the second born over the first. Is this foreshadowing the dominant kingdom teaching that "the last shall be first"?
