Genesis 40:1-8

1Now some time later, the cupbearer (butler) and the baker for the king of Egypt offended their lord, Egypt’s king.

2Pharaoh (Sesostris II) was extremely angry with his two officials, the chief of the cupbearers and the chief of the bakers.

3He put them in confinement in the house of the captain of the guard, in the same prison where Joseph was confined.

4The captain of the guard put Joseph in charge of them, and he served them; and they continued to be in custody for some time.

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

6When Joseph came to them in the morning and looked at them, [he saw that] they were sad and depressed.

7So he asked Pharaoh’s officials who were in confinement with him in his master’s house, “Why do you look so down-hearted today?”

8And they said to him, “We have [each] dreamed [distinct] dreams and there is no one to interpret them.” So Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell me [your dreams].”
