Genesis 40:1-23

Hello and welcome back...Today we read Genesis 40:1-23

1Then it came about after these things, the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt.
2Pharaoh was furious with his two officials, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.
3So he put them in confinement in the house of the captain of the bodyguard, in the jail, the same place where Joseph was imprisoned.
4The captain of the bodyguard put Joseph in charge of them, and he took care of them; and they were in confinement for some time.
5Then the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, who were confined in jail, both had a dream the same night, each man with his own dream and each dream with its own interpretation.

6When Joseph came to them in the morning and observed them, behold, they were dejected. 7He asked Pharaoh's officials who were with him in confinement in his master's house, "Why are your faces so sad today?"

Todays reading leaves us in a bit of a cliff hanger...Joseph although he interpreted the dreams correctly was forgotten.

Please continue on with me in tomorrow's reading of Genesis 41:1-57... (please remember I do not do this bible reading on Sundays so I can focus on what my Pastor has in store but Monday's reading will be a long one so get your coffee before hand and allow yourself some time to absorb it and meet me back here...) Have a wonderful weekend.
