Genesis 40:1

Verse 1 of 23. The 40th of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

1After these things, the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt.

2Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cup bearer and the chief baker.

3He put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

4The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he took care of them. They stayed in prison many days.

5They both dreamed a dream, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the cup bearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.
