Genesis 40:1-8 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. After these things happened, two of the king’s officers displeased the king. These officers were the man who served wine to the king and the king’s baker.

2. The king became angry with his officer who served him wine and his baker.

3. So he put them in the prison of the captain of the guard. This was the same prison where Joseph was kept.

4. The captain of the guard put the two prisoners in Joseph’s care. They stayed in prison for some time.

5. One night both the king’s officer who served him wine and the baker had a dream. Each had his own dream with its own meaning.

6. When Joseph came to them the next morning, he saw they were worried.

7. Joseph asked the king’s officers who were with him, “Why do you look so unhappy today?”

8. The two men answered, “We both had dreams last night. But no one can explain the meaning of them to us.”Joseph said to them, “God is the only One who can explain the meaning of dreams. So tell me your dreams.”
