Gênesis 41:9 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:9

Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh
When the magicians and wise men could not interpret his dreams, he was in distress of mind on that account: saying, I do remember my faults this day;
which some interpret of his forgetfulness of Joseph and his afflictions, and of his ingratitude to him, and breach of promise in not making mention of him to Pharaoh before this time; but they seem rather to be faults he had committed against Pharaoh, and were the reason of his being wroth with him, as in ( Genesis 41:10 ) ; and these were either real faults, which the king had pardoned, or however such as he had been charged with, and cleared from; and which he now in a courtly manner takes to himself, and owns them, that the king's goodness and clemency to him might appear, and lest he should seem to charge the king with injustice in casting him into prison; which circumstance he could not avoid relating in the story he was about to tell.

Gênesis 41:9 In-Context

7 e as espigas miúdas devoravam as sete espigas grandes e cheias. Então Faraó acordou, e eis que era um sonho.

8 Pela manhã o seu espírito estava perturbado; pelo que mandou chamar todos os adivinhadores do Egito, e todos os seus sábios; e Faraó contou-lhes os seus sonhos, mas não havia quem lhos interpretasse.

9 Então falou o copeiro-mor a Faraó, dizendo: Dos meus pecados me lembro hoje:

10 Estando faraó mui indignado contra os seus servos, e pondo-me sob prisão na casa do captão da guarda, a mim e ao padeiro-mor.

11 Então sonhamos um sonho na mesma noite, eu e ele, cada um conforme a interpretação do seu sonho sonhamos.
