Genesis 41:11 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:11

And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he
In one and the same night: we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream;
they both dreamed exactly what should befall them, as it was interpreted to them; the dreams, the interpretation of them, and the events, answered to each other.

Genesis 41:11 In-Context

9 Then the chief butler said to Pharaoh, "I remember my faults today.
10 When Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me and the chief baker in custody in the house of the captain of the guard,
11 we dreamed on the same night, he and I, each having a dream with its own meaning.
12 A young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard; and when we told him, he interpreted our dreams to us, giving an interpretation to each man according to his dream.
13 And as he interpreted to us, so it came to pass; I was restored to my office, and the baker was hanged."
