Genesis 40:1-8 ▼

1 Some time after this, the cupbearer of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.

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

3 and he 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 charged Joseph with them, and he waited on them; and they continued for some time in custody.

5 One night they both dreamed—the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison—each his own dream, and each dream with its own meaning.

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

7 So he asked Pharaoh’s officers, who were with him in custody in his master’s house, “Why are your faces downcast today?”

8 They said to him, “We have had dreams, and there is no one to interpret them.” And Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell them to me.”
