Genesis 40:3 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 40:3

And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the
guard
Who is generally thought to be Potiphar, since this was the office he was in, ( Genesis 39:1 ) ; unless he was dead, and there was another put into his room, or there were more than one in the same office: into the prison, the place where Joseph [was] bound;
that is, where he had been bound, and where he was still a prisoner, though not fettered and in that close confinement he had been in.

Genesis 40:3 In-Context

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

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

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

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

5 both of these men—the Egyptian king’s cupbearer and baker, who were being held in the prison—had a dream on the same night, and each dream had its own meaning.
