E aconteceu ao fim de dois anos, e Par'oh sonhou, e eis que estava em pé junto ao rio.

...After two years’ time, Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing by the Nile.” It seems best to interpret this verse in light of, “The rabbis taught in the language [of the mishnah]”. At first, it appears that they are not offering us anything with this observation. After all, what other language did they have in which to teach?
Noam Elimelekh
..Now we can understand this opening verse “After two years’ time.” “Days” hints at the holiness which is called “day. The Torah is saying that if a person thinks that s/he has already completely arrived at these two levels mentioned above, which is “at the end of two years” that is, when a person says that s/he has arrived at these two levels, (at that very moment) know for sure that this thought is not true but rather comes from the bitter materiality of the body, which wants to believe that it has finished its work and arrived at the last levels. This is why it is Pharaoh who dreams, since the Hebrew letters of Pharaoh re-arrange themselves into oref, which hints at the body which is surfacing this thought without real substance, just like “dreams which speak lies.” Now, “he was standing by the river.” Y’or, river, which means “like light,” that is, mentally this one already standing in the light, but in reality still needs great effort in both these qualities without pause.
