Genesis 40:4-8

4The captain of the bodyguard put Joseph in charge of them, and he 1took care of them; and they were in confinement for 2some time. 5Then the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, who were confined in jail, both had a dream the same night, each man with his own dream and each dream with its own interpretation. 63When Joseph came to them in the morning and observed them, 4behold, they were dejected. 7He asked Pharaoh’s officials who were with him in confinement in his master’s house, “56Why are your faces so sad today?” 8Then they said to him, “7We have 8had a dream and there is no one to interpret it.” Then Joseph said to them, “9Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell it to me, please.”
