Genesis 40:1-8 ▼

1 While these things were going on, it happened that two eunuchs, the cupbearer of the king of Egypt, and the miller of grain, offended their lord.

2 And Pharaoh, being angry with them, (now the one was in charge of the cupbearers, the other of the millers of grain)

3 sent them to the prison of the leader of the military, in which Joseph also was a prisoner.

4 But the keeper of the prison delivered them to Joseph, who ministered to them also. Some little time passed by, while they were held in custody.

5 And they both saw a similar dream on one night, whose interpretations should be related to one another.

6 And when Joseph had entered to them in the morning, and had seen them sad,

7 he consulted them, saying, “Why is your expression sadder today than usual?”

8 They responded, “We have seen a dream, and there is no one to interpret it for us.” And Joseph said to them, “Doesn’t interpretation belong to God? Recount for me what you have seen.”
