Génesis 40:1-6

1 José interpreta dos sueños
Pasado un tiempo, el jefe de los coperos y el jefe de los panaderos del faraón ofendieron a su señor, el rey.

2 El faraón se enojó con esos dos funcionarios

3 y los puso en la cárcel donde estaba José, en el palacio del capitán de la guardia.

4 Ellos permanecieron en la cárcel durante mucho tiempo, y el capitán de la guardia los asignó a José, quien se ocupaba de ellos.

5 Una noche, mientras estaban en la cárcel, el copero y el panadero del faraón tuvieron cada uno un sueño, y cada sueño tenía su propio significado.

6 Cuando José los vio a la mañana siguiente, notó que los dos parecían preocupados.

Génesis 40:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 40

The history of this chapter is, the imprisonment of two of Pharaoh's officers, his chief butler and chief baker, who by the captain of the guard were made the charge of Joseph, Ge 40:1-4; they both dreamed in prison, which made them sad; Joseph taking notice of their sadness, asked the reason of it, and encouraged them to tell him their dreams, Ge 40:5-8; the chief butler told his dream of the vine and three branches, which Joseph interpreted of his restoration to his office within three days, and desired him to remember him unto Pharaoh when he stood before him, telling him his case, Ge 40:9-15; then the chief baker told his dream of three white baskets of food on his head, which the birds ate, and this Joseph interpreted of his being hanged within three days, Ge 40:16-19; and the events answered to the interpretation, but Joseph was forgot by the chief butler, Ge 40:20-23.
