Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Genesis 40:1-23

FOURTH SECTIONJoseph as interpreter of the dreams of his fellow-prisoners. Genesis 40:1-231And it came to pass after these things that the butler of the king of Egypt, and his baker, had offended their lord the king of Egypt. 2And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers. 3And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound. 4And the captain of the guard... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Genesis 40:9-23

Joseph Interprets Two Dreams Genesis 40:9-23 Joseph as an interpreter was among a thousand. Because his pure heart was open to God, he could unriddle the mysteries of human life. Very often those who walk with God can solve and explain the dark riddles of human life for the less enlightened. Joseph was keenly alive to God’s presence. It filled the prison with glory. He knew that thence must come all their hope and expectation; and God was “in the shadow, keeping watch above His own.” He was... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 40:1-23

The works of God are ever characterized by simplicity. No study is more fascinating in the Divine Oracles or in human experience than the wonderful mosaic of the divine government. If it may be stated reverently, it 'would seem as though there are no forces or facts on which God does not lay His hand in quiet strength and majesty and make them tributary to the accomplishment of His purpose. He now worked certainly through the uncertain method of dreams. Prisoners, and Pharaoh, as we shall... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 40:1-23

Joseph in Prison Genesis 40:1-23 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We left Joseph, in chapter 39, in prison under the order of Potiphar, captain of the guard. Chapter forty of Genesis discovers to us several important features, covering events in prison which carry lessons of twofold importance. First, they show us inner glimpses into Joseph's character, which seem to be illumined by his prison life. Second, they show us some marvelous foregleams of Christ's future experiences as He went to death for us,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 40:12-15

‘And Joseph said, “This is the interpretation of it. The three branches are three days. Within yet three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office, and you will give Pharaoh’s cup into his hand in the same way as when you were his cupbearer. But remember me when it is well with you, and show me kindness and mention me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house. For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have done nothing that warrants... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 40:1-23

Genesis 40. Joseph Interprets their Dreams to Pharaoh’ s Two Imprisoned Officers.— This chapter is from E, with harmonistic additions and touches from J ( Genesis 40:3 b, Genesis 40:5 b, Genesis 40:15 b). The two officers are in custody, till their case is decided, in the captain’ s house (not in the prison or Round House as Genesis 40:3 b states). Joseph waits on them, not as a prisoner but as the captain’ s slave. They attach great importance to dreams, and with their fate hanging in the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 40:13

Lift up thine head, i.e. advance thee to thy former dignity. So that phrase is used 2 Kings 25:27; Psalms 110:7. Or, reckon thy head, i.e. thy name or thy person, to wit, among his servants, which is added, Genesis 40:20. According to the custom, which was this: at set times governors of families used to take an account of their servants, and to have the names of their servants read to them, and they either left them in the catalogue, or put any of them out, as they saw fit, and inflicted such... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Genesis 40:1-23

CRITICAL NOTES.—The butler.] “The cupbearer and overseer of the wine—making and storing and serving, an important officer of the king. (2 Kings 18:17.) He was now a state prisoner for an offence against Pharaoh.”—(Jacobus.) His baker. “This was another officer in trust of the king’s bread and of its making; and his post was one of high trust, because they who had charge of the food of the king might easily poison him.”—(Jacobus.)—Genesis 40:4. The captain of the guard.] Potiphar. Charged Joseph... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 40:1-23

Chapter 40For the correlating audio message go to Chapter 39 It came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt. And Pharaoh was angry against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers ( Genesis 40:1-2 ). So these guys were pretty topnotch honchos, the chief of the butlers, the chief of the bakers, but somehow they got in trouble with the Pharaoh. Now it could be that... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 40:1-23

Genesis 40:4. Captain of the guard; that is, Potiphar who had a controul over the gaoler. It would seem, by enlarging Joseph’s liberty in prison, that he now believed his asseverations of innocence: and in that case, he ought to have enlarged him. But oh what it costs a man to say before the public, I have erred, I have sinned, I have been dishonoured in my tenderest interests: sooner than do this, Potiphar chose to employ Joseph as an under gaoler. Genesis 40:8. We have dreamed a dream.... read more
