Génesis 40:9-11

9 Entonces el jefe de los coperos le contó a José el sueño que había tenido:—Soñé que frente a mí había una vid,

10 la cual tenía tres ramas. En cuanto la vid echó brotes, floreció; y maduraron las uvas en los racimos.

11 Yo tenía la copa del faraón en la mano. Tomé las uvas, las exprimí en la copa, y luego puse la copa en manos 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.
