40And it happened that after these things the cupbearer of the king of Egypt and his baker did wrong against their lord, against the king of Egypt. ²And Pharaoh was angry with his two officials, with the chief cupbearer and chief baker. ³And he put them in custody in the house of the commander of the guard, into the prison where Joseph was confined. ⁴And the commander of the guard appointed Joseph to be with them, and he attended them. And they were in custody many days.^a ⁵And the two of them, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, dreamed a dream one night, each his own dream, with its own interpretation. ⁶When Joseph came to them in the morning he looked at them, and behold, they were troubled. ⁷And he asked the court officials of Pharaoh that were with him in the custody of his master’s house, “Why are your faces sad today?” ⁸And they said to him, “We each dreamed a dream, but there is no one to interpret it.” And Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell them to me.”
