Where do we find that Pharoh spoke Hebrew? Chapter 50 verse 2 does not discuss this subject.
Thank you for learning with me. I am honored.

A Question
Dear Rav Gordon, as you explained the backround to Rashi's explanation on Bereishis, Chapter 50, verse two, we understand that Pharoh didn´t know loshon hakoidesh. But, In many sections in Chumash, we see that he did spoke in hebrew. One clear example of this the same verse that I just mentioned above. What could be the answer to this contradiction?
I listen to your Chumash/Rashi every day and they are wonderful. I appreciate all the time and energy that you put into this amazing task. Thank you very much.
Be well!

Could the hanging of the crowns around Joseph's symbol on the funeral bier be another fulfillment of his dream that so offended his brothers?
It seems to be a different idea. The dreams were about subservience to Yosef. The crowns on the bier is about honor for Yaakov. I couldn't find any sources that connect the two.
