Gênesis 41:1-32 NVT

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 41:8

And it came to pass in the morning, that his spirit was troubled ,.... With the thoughts of his dreams; they were uppermost in his mind; he was continually thinking of them; it was as if he had always the same images before him now awake, as well as when asleep, and therefore could not be easy without getting knowledge of the meaning of them: and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof ; who pretended to have great skill in the things of nature,... read more

Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh ,.... When the magicians and wise men could not interpret his dreams, he was in distress of mind on that account: saying, I do remember my faults this day ; which some interpret of his forgetfulness of Joseph and his afflictions, and of his ingratitude to him, and breach of promise in not making mention of him to Pharaoh before this time; but they seem rather to be faults he had committed against Pharaoh, and were the reason of his being wroth... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 41:10

Pharaoh was wroth with his servants ,.... Not with all of them, but with the butler and the baker. Aben Ezra observes here, that Pharaoh was not the proper name of this king, but a title of office, and signifies the king; for it cannot be thought that the butler would use such freedom in his presence as to call him by his name: the true name of this prince, according to the eastern writers F6 Juchasin, fol. 135. 2. , was Rian ben Walid; others take him to be Aphophis, the third of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible 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. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 41:12

And there was there with us a young man ,.... Who was in the prison with them, had the care of them, and waited upon them; he was then about twenty eight years of age; for it was two years ago he speaks of, and Joseph was thirty when he stood before Pharaoh, Genesis 41:46 , an Hebrew servant to the captain of the guard ; he first describes him by his age, a young man, then by his descent, an Hebrew, and by his state and condition, a servant; neither of them tended much to recommend... read more

And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was ,.... The event answered to the interpretation, and showed it to be right; this is frequently hinted and repeated, to show the exactness and certainty of the interpretation given, in order to recommend Joseph to Pharaoh the more: me he restored unto my office, and him he hanged : that is, Joseph interpreted the butler's dream to such a sense, that he should be restored to his butlership, and accordingly he was; and the baker's... read more

Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph ,.... Sent messengers to him to come to him directly, ordered the captain of the guard, or keeper of prison, to loose him, and let him free, see Psalm 105:20 , and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon ; that is, out of the prison house; which, as Jarchi says, was made like a ditch or dungeon, or in which the dungeon was where Joseph was first put when he was brought to prison; though it cannot be thought that he continued there when he had so... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 41:15

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph ,...., Immediately, upon his being introduced to him: I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it ; that he could yet meet with; none of his magicians or wise men, who made great pretensions to skill in such matters: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it ; it had been reported to him, particularly by the chief butler, that when he heard a dream told him, he had such knowledge and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 41:16

And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, it is not in me ,.... Which expresses his great modesty, that he did not arrogate such skill and wisdom to himself; declaring that he had no such power and abilities in and of himself, to interpret dreams; what he had was a gift of God, and wholly depended upon his influence, and the revelation he was pleased to make to him of such things: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace ; such an answer to his request in the interpretation of his dream,... read more

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph ,.... Relating both his dreams in a more ample manner, though to the same purpose, than before related: in my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river ; the river Nile, where he could have a full sight of what were after presented to his view. read more
