Genesi 40:2 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 40:2

And Pharaoh was wroth against two [of] his officers
The same above mentioned: against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers;
for as there were several butlers and bakers that belonged unto him, who were employed in providing wine and food for him, there was one of each who was over the rest; and as their business was to see that those under them did their work well, when they were faulty the principal officers were answerable for it: wherefore, if in this case they had not been guilty of anything criminal themselves personally, yet they might have neglected to look after those that were under them, and so were culpable, and drew upon them the wrath and resentment of their lord and sovereign.

Genesi 40:2 In-Context

1 Or, dopo queste cose, avvenne che il coppiere e il panettiere del re d’Egitto offesero il loro signore, il re d’Egitto.

2 E Faraone s’indignò contro i suoi due ufficiali, contro il capo de’ coppieri e il capo de’ panettieri,

3 e li fece mettere in carcere, nella casa del capo delle guardie; nella prigione stessa dove Giuseppe stava rinchiuso.

4 E il capitano delle guardie li affidò alla sorveglianza di Giuseppe, il quale li serviva. Ed essi rimasero in prigione per un certo tempo.

5 E durante una medesima notte, il coppiere e il panettiere del re d’Egitto, ch’erano rinchiusi nella prigione, ebbero ambedue un sogno, un sogno per uno, e ciascun sogno aveva il suo significato particolare.
