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 sciscitatus est dicens cur tristior est hodie solito facies vestra
8 qui responderunt somnium vidimus et non est qui interpretetur nobis dixitque ad eos Ioseph numquid non Dei est interpretatio referte mihi quid videritis
9 narravit prior praepositus pincernarum somnium videbam coram me vitem
10 in qua erant tres propagines crescere paulatim gemmas et post flores uvas maturescere
11 calicemque Pharaonis in manu mea tuli ergo uvas et expressi in calicem quem tenebam et tradidi poculum Pharaoni
