Genesis 40:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 40:2

The Prisoners’ Dreams

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

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

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

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

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

6 And Joseph came in to them in the morning and looked at them, and saw that they were¹ sad.
