Genesis 40:1-8 ▼

1 Some time later, the king’s cupbearer and baker offended their master, the king of Egypt (land of bondage).

2 Pharaoh (great house) was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,

3 and imprisoned them in the house of the captain of the guard, the same prison where Joseph (YHWH has added) was confined.

4 The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph (YHWH has added), and he became their personal attendant. After they had been in custody for some time,

5 both of these men—the Egyptian (double straits) king’s cupbearer and baker, who were being held in the prison—had a dream on the same night, and each dream had its own meaning.

6 When Joseph (YHWH has added) came to them in the morning, he saw that they were distraught.

7 So he asked the officials of Pharaoh (great house) who were in custody with him in his master’s house, “Why are your⁺ faces so downcast today?”

8 “We both had dreams,” they replied, “but there is no one to interpret them.” Then Joseph (YHWH has added) said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God {Elohim}? Tell me your dreams.”
