Interpretation is a significant theme in the Bible, as it often involves divine revelation and understanding imparted by God to individuals. The ability to interpret is sometimes depicted as a spiritual gift, enabling individuals to comprehend and convey God's messages accurately. Biblical Instances of Interpretation: 1. Joseph and Dreams: One of the most notable examples of interpretation in the Bible is Joseph's ability to interpret dreams. In <a href="/bsb/genesis/40.htm">Genesis 40-41</a>, Joseph interprets the dreams of Pharaoh's cupbearer and baker while in prison, and later, Pharaoh's own dreams. Joseph attributes his ability to interpret to God, saying, "Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams" (<a href="/genesis/40-8.htm">Genesis 40:8</a>). His interpretations lead to his rise to power in Egypt, demonstrating the importance and impact of divine interpretation. 2. Daniel and Visions: Daniel is another key figure known for his interpretative skills. In the Book of Daniel, he interprets King Nebuchadnezzar's dreams and the mysterious writing on the wall. Daniel acknowledges that his ability to interpret comes from God, as seen in <a href="/daniel/2-28.htm">Daniel 2:28</a>, "But there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the latter days" . Daniel's interpretations reveal God's sovereignty and future plans for nations. 3. New Testament and Spiritual Gifts: In the New Testament, interpretation is linked to the spiritual gifts bestowed by the Holy Spirit. The Apostle Paul discusses the gift of interpretation, particularly in the context of speaking in tongues. In <a href="/1_corinthians/12-10.htm">1 Corinthians 12:10</a>, Paul lists "the interpretation of tongues" as one of the spiritual gifts. He emphasizes the importance of interpretation for the edification of the church, stating, "Therefore, one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret" (<a href="/1_corinthians/14-13.htm">1 Corinthians 14:13</a>). 4. Jesus and Parables: Jesus often used parables to teach spiritual truths, and He sometimes provided interpretations to His disciples. For example, in the Parable of the Sower, Jesus explains the meaning of the parable to His disciples, revealing the different responses to the Word of God (<a href="/matthew/13-18.htm">Matthew 13:18-23</a>). This act of interpretation underscores the necessity of understanding spiritual truths and the role of Jesus as the ultimate interpreter of God's Word. Theological Significance: Interpretation in the Bible is closely tied to divine revelation and understanding. It is portrayed as a gift from God, enabling individuals to comprehend and communicate His will. The act of interpretation serves to reveal God's plans, provide guidance, and edify the community of believers. It underscores the importance of seeking divine wisdom and understanding in discerning spiritual truths. Practical Application: Believers are encouraged to seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit in interpreting Scripture and understanding God's will. The Bible emphasizes the need for discernment and wisdom in interpretation, as seen in <a href="/2_timothy/2-15.htm">2 Timothy 2:15</a>, "Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth" . This highlights the responsibility of believers to approach interpretation with humility and reliance on God's guidance.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
