Genesis 41:9-16

9Then the king's cupbearer said to Pharaoh, ‘Now I remember that I have done a wrong thing!

10Two years ago, you were angry with me and with your special baker. You put us in prison, in the house of the guards' captain.

11One night we both had a dream. Each of our dreams had its own meaning.

12A young Hebrew man was there with us. He was a servant of the guards' captain. We told the Hebrew man about our dreams. Then he told each of us the meaning of our dream.

13And everything happened as he had told us! You gave me my job as cupbearer again. But you hanged the baker to kill him.’

14So Pharaoh called Joseph to come to him. They quickly brought Joseph from the prison. Joseph washed himself and he cut his beard from his face. He put on clean clothes. Then he went and he stood in front of Pharaoh.

15Pharaoh said to Joseph, ‘I had a dream, and no one can tell me what it means. But people have told me about you. They say that you can tell the meaning of dreams.’

16Joseph replied to Pharaoh, ‘I cannot do this. But God will give you an answer that will make you happy.’
