Summary

In this verse, Pharaoh's cupbearer recounts his experience in prison to Pharaoh, mentioning how he and the chief baker had dreams that were interpreted by a young Hebrew man named Joseph. This sets the stage for Joseph's eventual release from prison and his encounter with Pharaoh. The cupbearer's testimony becomes a pivotal moment in Joseph's journey, leading to his opportunity to interpret Pharaoh's dreams and ultimately rise to a position of power in Egypt.
