Ge 40:3

guard, into the prison, the place where {a} Joseph [was]
bound.

Ge 40:5
40:5 And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream
in one night, {b} each man according to the interpretation
of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of
Egypt, which [were] bound in the prison.
(b) That is, every dream had his interpretation, as the
thing afterward declared.
Ge 40:8
40:8 And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and [there
is] no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, {c}
[Do] not interpretations [belong] to God? tell me [them], I
pray you.
(c) Cannot God raise up such as shall interpret such
things.
Ge 40:12
40:12 And Joseph said unto him, This {d} [is] the interpretation
of it: The three branches [are] three days:

interpretation was true.
Ge 40:14
40:14 But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew
kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and {e} make mention of me
unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
(e) He does not refuse the method of deliverance which he
thought God had appointed.
Ge 40:16
40:16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good,
he said unto Joseph, I also [was] in my dream, and,
behold, [I had] three {f} white baskets on my head:
(f) That is made of white twigs, or as some read, baskets
full of holes.
Ge 40:18
40:18 And Joseph answered and said, {g} This [is] the
interpretation thereof: The three baskets [are] three
days:
(g) He shows that the ministers of God should not conceal
that, which God reveals to them.
Ge 40:20
40:20 And it came to pass the third day, [which was] Pharaoh's
{h} birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants:
and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the
chief baker among his servants.
(h) Which was an occasion to appoint his officers, and to
examine those who were in prison.
