Génesis 40:9-11

9 Entonces el jefe de los coperos fue el primero en contarle su sueño a José.
—En mi sueño —dijo él—, vi una vid delante de mí.

10 La vid tenía tres ramas, las cuales comenzaron a brotar y a florecer y, en poco tiempo, produjo racimos de uvas maduras.

11 Yo tenía la copa del faraón en mi mano, entonces tomé un racimo de uvas y exprimí el jugo en la copa. Después puse la copa en la mano del faraón.

Génesis 40:9-11 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 40

The history of this chapter is, the imprisonment of two of Pharaoh's officers, his chief butler and chief baker, who by the captain of the guard were made the charge of Joseph, Ge 40:1-4; they both dreamed in prison, which made them sad; Joseph taking notice of their sadness, asked the reason of it, and encouraged them to tell him their dreams, Ge 40:5-8; the chief butler told his dream of the vine and three branches, which Joseph interpreted of his restoration to his office within three days, and desired him to remember him unto Pharaoh when he stood before him, telling him his case, Ge 40:9-15; then the chief baker told his dream of three white baskets of food on his head, which the birds ate, and this Joseph interpreted of his being hanged within three days, Ge 40:16-19; and the events answered to the interpretation, but Joseph was forgot by the chief butler, Ge 40:20-23.
