Genesis 40:1-8 ▼

1 Then it came about after these things, that the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt.

2 And Pharaoh was furious with his two officials, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.

3 So he put them in confinement in the house of the captain of the bodyguard, in the prison, the same place where Joseph was imprisoned.

4 And the captain of the bodyguard put Joseph in charge of them, and he took care of them; and they were in confinement for some time.

5 Then the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, both had a dream the same night, each man with his own dream and each dream with its own interpretation.

6 When Joseph came to them in the morning and saw them, behold, they were dejected.

7 So he asked Pharaoh’s officials who were with him in confinement in his master’s house, “Why are your faces so sad today?”

8 And they said to him, “We have had a dream, and there is no one to interpret it.” Then Joseph said to them, “Do interpretations not belong to God? Tell it to me, please.”
