Genesis 40:1-8

1It came to pass after these things that the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt.

2And Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief butler and the chief baker.

3So he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison, the place where Joseph was confined.

4And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them; so they were in custody for a while.

5Then the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, had a dream, both of them, each man’s dream in one night and each man’s dream with its own interpretation.

6And Joseph came in to them in the morning and looked at them, and saw that they were sad.

7So he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in the custody of his lord’s house, saying, “Why do you look so sad today?”

8And they said to him, “We each have had a dream, and there is no interpreter of it.” So Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me, please.”
