The figure you're referring to is Joseph, a biblical character from the Book of Genesis. Sold into slavery by his brothers, he was taken to Egypt, where he eventually gained favor with Pharaoh due to his ability to interpret dreams. Joseph's foresight in predicting seven years of famine allowed him to prepare Egypt, ultimately saving the nation and his own family from starvation.
