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 After these things happened, two of the king's officers displeased the king -- the man who served wine to the king and the king's baker.

2 The king became angry with his officer who served him wine and his baker,

3 so he put them in the prison of the captain of the guard, the same prison where Joseph was kept.

4 The captain of the guard put the two prisoners in Joseph's care, and they stayed in prison for some time.

5 One night both the king's officer who served him wine and the baker had a dream. Each had his own dream with its own meaning.
