Genesis 41:11 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:11

And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he
In one and the same night: we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream;
they both dreamed exactly what should befall them, as it was interpreted to them; the dreams, the interpretation of them, and the events, answered to each other.

Genesis 41:11 In-Context

9 Then the chief of the cupbearers spoke with Pharaoh, saying, "I remember my sins today.

10 Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and he put me and the chief baker in the custody of the house of the chief of the guard.

11 And we dreamed a dream one night, I and he, {each with a dream that had a meaning}.

12 And there with us [was] a young man, a Hebrew servant of the chief of the guard, and we told him [the dream], and he interpreted our dreams for us, each according to his dream he interpreted.

13 And it happened just as he interpreted to us, so it was. He restored me to my office, and him he hanged."
