Genesis 40:4 (King James Version)

- a season
- {Yamim,} literally days; how long is uncertain, though the word may signify, as many suppose, a complete year (see Genesis 4:3 ; 24:55 ); and as Pharaoh called them to an account on his
- birthday, (ver. 20,) Calmet supposes they had offended on the preceding birthday, and thus had been one whole year in prison.
