Genesis 41:9-16

9Then the chief butler spoke to Pharaoh, saying: “I remember my faults this day.

10When Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, both me and the chief baker,

11we each had a dream in one night, he and I. Each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream.

12Now there was a young Hebrew man with us there, a servant of the captain of the guard. And we told him, and he interpreted our dreams for us; to each man he interpreted according to his own dream.

13And it came to pass, just as he interpreted for us, so it happened. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.”

14Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him quickly out of the dungeon; and he shaved, changed his clothing, and came to Pharaoh.

15And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that you can understand a dream, to interpret it.”

16So Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”
