Genesis 41:11

And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he

Genesis 41:11 In-Context

9 Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, "I remember a promise I failed to keep.

10 Some time ago when Pharaoh was angry with his servants, he confined me and the chief baker to the captain of the guard's prison.

11 We both had dreams the same night. Each dream had its own meaning.

12 A young Hebrew, a slave of the captain of the guard, was with us. We told him our dreams, and he told each of us what they meant.

13 What he told us happened: Pharaoh restored me to my position, but he hung the baker on a pole."
