Genesis 40:1-8 ▼

1 After these things happened, the cupbearer to the king of Egypt and the royal baker offended their master, the king of Egypt.

2 Pharaoh was enraged with his two officials, the cupbearer and the baker,

3 so he imprisoned them in the house of the captain of the guard in the same facility where Joseph was confined.

4 The captain of the guard appointed Joseph to be their attendant, and he served them. They spent some time in custody.

5 Both of them, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, had a dream the same night. Each man's dream had its own meaning.

6 When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were looking depressed.

7 So he asked Pharaoh's officials, who were with him in custody in his master's house, |Why do you look so sad today?|

8 They told him, |We both had dreams, but there is no one to interpret them.| Joseph responded, |Don't interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me.|
