Question

During an analysis of one of these things, Rabbi Akiva told a man to check for his inheritance behind a beam after he heard the phrase “go up to Cappadocia.” That instance exemplifies the Talmudic practice of studying the linguistic content of these things by splitting Greek words in half. Jacob of Marvege controversially used fasting and these things to study halakha, as recorded in his text Responsa from Heaven. A proverb from Maimonides’s Guide for the Perplexed states that one of these things is a “sixtieth of prophecy.” During one of these things, several sheaves of grain (10[4])bowed (10[1])down (10[2])to (10[1])one (10[4])standing (10[2])upright. (10[7])A (10[1])biblical interpretation of one of these things surmised that seven years of famine would follow (10[1])seven years of good harvest (10[1])by assigning significance to seven skinny and seven fat cows. For 10 points, what sort of occurrences did Joseph interpret for Pharaoh? ■END■

ANSWER: dreams [accept dream interpretation or dream analysis; accept chalom; prompt on prophecy until read; prompt on visions by asking “that appear in what form?”]
