Genesis 40:21 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 40:21

And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again,
&c.] Put him into the same office he was in before: and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand;
ministered to him in his office the same day, according to his dream and the interpretation of it: the Targum of Jonathan adds this as a reason of his being restored,

``because he found that he was not in that counsel,''

in which it was consulted to poison Pharaoh, (See Gill on Genesis 40:1).

21 restituitque alterum in locum suum ut porrigeret regi poculum

22 alterum suspendit in patibulo ut coniectoris veritas probaretur

23 et tamen succedentibus prosperis praepositus pincernarum oblitus est interpretis sui
