Genesis 41 — Context

9

Then the chief wine-servant said to Pharaoh, The memory of my sin comes back to me now;

10

Pharaoh had been angry with his servants, and had put me in prison in the house of the captain of the army, together with the chief bread-maker;

11

And we had a dream on the same night, the two of us, and the dreams had a special sense.

12

And there was with us a young Hebrew, the captain's servant, and when we put our dreams before him, he gave us the sense of them.

13

And it came about as he said: I was put back in my place, and the bread-maker was put to death by hanging.

14

Then Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and they took him quickly out of prison; and when his hair had been cut and his dress changed, he came before Pharaoh.

15

And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have had a dream, and no one is able to give me the sense of it; now it has come to my ears that you are able to give the sense of a dream when it is put before you.
