GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Later the king's cupbearer and his baker offended their master, the king of Egypt.

2 Pharaoh was angry with his chief cupbearer and his chief baker.

3 He put them in the prison of the captain of the guard, the same place where Joseph was a prisoner.

4 The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he took care of them. After they had been confined for some time,

5 both prisoners--the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt--had dreams one night. Each man had a dream with its own special meaning.

6 When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were upset.

7 So he asked these officials of Pharaoh who were with him in his master's prison, "Why do you look so unhappy today?"

1 Some time later, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their master, the king of Egypt.

2 Pharaoh was angry with his two officials, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,

3 and put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the same prison where Joseph was confined.

4 The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he attended them. After they had been in custody for some time,

5 each of the two men—the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were being held in prison—had a dream the same night, and each dream had a meaning of its own.

6 When Joseph came to them the next morning, he saw that they were dejected.

7 So he asked Pharaoh’s officials who were in custody with him in his master’s house, “Why do you look so sad today?”
