Genesis 40:22 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 40:22

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 The third day was Pharaoh's birthday. He had a big dinner prepared for all of his officials. He brought the chief wine taster and the chief baker out of prison. He did it in front of his officials.

21 He gave the chief wine taster's position back to him. Once again the wine taster put the cup into Pharaoh's hand.

22 But Pharaoh had a pole stuck through the chief baker's body. Then he had the pole set up. Everything happened exactly as Joseph had told them when he explained their dreams.

23 But the chief wine taster didn't remember Joseph. In fact, he forgot all about him.
