Gênesis 41:10 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:10

Pharaoh was wroth with his servants
Not with all of them, but with the butler and the baker. Aben Ezra observes here, that Pharaoh was not the proper name of this king, but a title of office, and signifies the king; for it cannot be thought that the butler would use such freedom in his presence as to call him by his name: the true name of this prince, according to the eastern writers ^F6, was Rian ben Walid; others take him to be Aphophis, the third of the Hycsi, or pastor kings: but, according to Bishop Usher ^F7, his name was Mephramuthosis: and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house:
in consequence of his wrath and displeasure, for crimes really or supposed to be committed by him; and the captain of the guard's house was a prison, or at least there was a prison in it for such sort of offenders; and this was Potiphar's, Joseph's master's, house: [both] me and the chief baker;
which explains who the officers were Pharaoh was wroth with, and who were for their offences committed to prison.

8 Pela manhã, perturbado, mandou chamar todos os magos e sábios do Egito e lhes contou os sonhos, mas ninguém foi capaz de interpretá-los.

9 Então o chefe dos copeiros disse ao faraó: “Hoje me lembro de minhas faltas.

10 Certa vez o faraó ficou irado com dois dos seus servos e mandou prender-me junto com o chefe dos padeiros, na casa do capitão da guarda.

11 Certa noite cada um de nós teve um sonho, e cada sonho tinha uma interpretação.

12 Pois bem, havia lá conosco um jovem hebreu, servo do capitão da guarda. Contamos a ele os nossos sonhos, e ele os interpretou, dando a cada um de nós a interpretação do seu próprio sonho.
