Genesis 40:22 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 40:22

But he hanged the chief baker
The is, he ordered him to be hanged; because, as the same Targum says, he consulted to kill him (Pharaoh): as Joseph had interpreted to them;
the events as to both answered to the interpretation Joseph had given of their several dreams.

Genesis 40:22 In-Context

20 Three days later, on his birthday, the king gave a feast for all his officers. In front of his officers, he released from prison the chief officer who served his wine and the chief baker.

21 The king gave his chief officer who served wine his old position, and once again he put the king's cup of wine into the king's hand.

22 But the king hanged the baker on a pole. Everything happened just as Joseph had said it would,

23 but the officer who served wine did not remember Joseph. He forgot all about him.
