Philip Schaff

“ Thus, we cannot infer with absolute certainty that the man who has seen visions, and dreams, and apparitions, is undoubtedly pious. For in the case of the pious man, the truth gushes up natural and pure [7] in his mind, not worked up through dreams, but granted to the good through intelligence. ”

“ Pharaoh, also an impious man, saw a dream in regard to the fulness and thinness of the ears of corn, [2] to whom Joseph said, when he gave the interpretation, that the dream had come from God. [3] Nebuchadnezzar, who worshipped images, and ordered those who worshipped God to be cast into fire, saw a dream [4] extending over the whole age of the world. [5] And let no one say, ‘No one who is impious sees a vision when awake.’ That is false. ”
