Genesis 40:1-8 ▼

1 After this, the king of Egypt’s cupbearer and baker offended their master, the king of Egypt.

2 Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,

3 and put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guards in the prison where Joseph was confined.

4 The captain of the guards assigned Joseph to them as their personal attendant, and they were in custody for some time.

5 The king of Egypt’s cupbearer and baker, who were confined in the prison, each had a dream. Both had a dream on the same night, and each dream had its own meaning.

6 When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they looked distraught.

7 So he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were in custody with him in his master’s house, “Why do you look so sad today? ”

8 “We had dreams,” they said to him, “but there is no one to interpret them.” Then Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams.”
