How God Raised Joseph and Daniel From Dust to Thrones

"He raises up the poor from the dust" (1 Samuel 2:8) — this is Joseph. "He lifts the needy from the dunghill" — "And Pharaoh sent and called Joseph" etc. (Genesis 41:14). "To seat them with princes, and make them inherit a throne of honor" — "And Joseph was the governor over the land" (ibid. 42:6). Another interpretation: "He raises up the poor from the dust" — this is Daniel. "He lifts the needy from the dunghill" — "And Daniel was taken up out of the den" (Daniel 6:24). "To seat them with princes, and make them inherit a throne of honor" — "And they proclaimed concerning him that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom" (ibid. 5:29).
