Genesis 40:9 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 40:9

And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph
He listened to what Joseph said, and paid a regard to it, and began to think he might be able to interpret his dream, and therefore was forward, and the first to tell him it at once; whereas the chief baker did not seem disposed to do it, until he observed the good interpretation given of the butler's dream, ( Genesis 40:16 ) : and said unto him, in my dream, behold, a vine [was] before me;
it appeared to him in his dream, as if a vine sprung up at once, and stood before him; which was very suitable to his office as a butler, wine being the fruit of the vine, which he provided for the king his master, and presented to him at table.

Genesis 40:9 In-Context

7 So he asked Pharaoh's officers who were in custody with him in his master's house, "Why are your faces sad today?"
8 "We had dreams," they said to him, "but there is no one to interpret them." Then Joseph said to them, "Don't interpretations belong to God? Tell me [your dreams]."
9 So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph: "In my dream there was a vine in front of me.
10 On the vine were three branches. As soon as it budded, its blossoms came out and its clusters ripened into grapes.
11 Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup, and placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand."
