Answer 1

The event that led to Joseph becoming second-in-command to the pharaoh in Egypt was his proper interpretation of the pharaoh’s dream. According to the biblical narrative in the Book of Genesis, Joseph interpreted the pharaoh's dreams about seven years of abundance followed by seven years of famine, which impressed the pharaoh and led to Joseph being appointed as a high-ranking official to oversee the preparation for the upcoming famine.
