Genesis 40:1-8

1Now it was after these things that the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their master, the king of Egypt.

2Pharaoh was angry with his two officials, with the chief of the cupbearers and with the chief of the bakers.

3So he put them in custody of the house of the commander of the bodyguards—in the prison, the place where Joseph was confined.

4The commander of the bodyguards assigned Joseph to be with them and served them as their personal servant. They were in custody for some time.

5Then the two of them each dreamed a dream on the same night. The dream of each man—the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison—each had its own interpretation.

6When Joseph came to them in the morning, he observed them, and there they were, looking miserable.

7So he asked Pharaoh’s officials who were with him in the custody of the house of his master saying, “Why are your faces so sad today?”

8They said to him, “We dreamed a dream and there is no one to interpret it.” Then Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Please tell me.”
