JOSEPH, INTERPRETER OF DREAMS Two men are seen now to be committed to Joseph's care in the prison, the cup bearer and the baker of Pharaoh, king of Egypt. It is not told us for what offenses they were imprisoned, but they had incurred Pharaoh's anger and this was enough (v.2). The captain of the bodyguard committed them to Joseph.

JOSEPH ’S HISTORY DISPENSATIONAL ASPECT OF JACOB’S HISTORY Following F.W.

Reader! do not overlook in this verse, that this captain of the guard must have been Potiphar, Genesis 39:1 . Whether by this time Joseph's master had begun to believe Joseph was innocent doth not appear, but yet it should seem so, in that he committed to his care those state prisoners. read more
