Genesis 41:9-16

9Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I would make mention today of 1my own 2offenses. 10Pharaoh was 3furious with his servants, and 4he put me in confinement in the house of the captain of the bodyguard, both me and the chief baker. 11Then 5we had a dream one night, 6he and I; each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream. 12Now a Hebrew youth was there with us, a 7servant of the captain of the bodyguard, and we told him the dreams, and 8he interpreted our dreams for us. For each man he interpreted according to his own dream. 13And just 9as he interpreted for us, so it happened; Pharaoh restored me in my office, but he hanged 10the chief baker.”

14Then Pharaoh sent word and 11called for Joseph, and they 12hurriedly brought him out of the dungeon; and when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came to Pharaoh. 15Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had a dream, 13but no one can interpret it; and 14I have heard 15it said about you, that 16when you hear a dream you can interpret it.” 16Joseph then answered Pharaoh, saying, “17 18It has nothing to do with me; 19God will 20give Pharaoh an answer for his own good.”
