Genesis 40:8

Genesis 40:8

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

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

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

9 Then the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “Behold, in my dream a vine was before me,

10 and in the vine were three branches; it was as though it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes.

11 Then Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.”

Genesis 40:9 >>

Do not interpretations belong to God? - He means the God whom he worshipped, to the knowledge of whom he endeavours hereby to lead them. And if interpretations belong to God, he is a free agent, and may communicate the power to whom he pleases, therefore tell me your dreams.
