Genesis 40:1-11
Genesis 40:1-11 TPT
Some time later, both Pharaoh’s chief steward and chief baker deeply offended their master, the king of Egypt. Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief steward and the chief baker, so he incarcerated them in the palace of Potiphar, the captain of the guard, in the same prison where Joseph was bound. The captain of the guard placed them under Joseph’s charge, and they remained in custody for some time. Then one night, they both dreamed—the steward and the baker, officials of the king of Egypt. They each had a prophetic dream with different interpretations. When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw they looked miserable, so he asked Pharaoh’s two officials who were under his custody, “What’s wrong? Why the sad faces?” “We had dreams last night,” they answered, “and we have no one to interpret them.” And Joseph said to them, “God can interpret your dreams! Please, tell them to me.” So the chief steward shared his dream with Joseph first. He said, “In my dream, I saw a vine with three branches in front of me. I watched as it budded, then immediately it blossomed, and its clusters ripened into grapes. I was holding Pharaoh’s cup, so I took the grapes, squeezed them into his cup, and handed the cup to the king.”
