Genesis 40:1-8 ▼

1 After this, the Egyptian king’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 guard in the prison where Joseph was confined.

4 The captain of the guard assigned Joseph to them, and he became their personal attendant. And they were in custody for some time.

5 The Egyptian king’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.”
