Glancing Through the Scriptures

 (KJV.)  GENESIS 40:8-14

Joseph interprets dreams

(8)  And they said unto him;  We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it.  And Joseph said unto them,  Do not interpretations belong to God?  tell me then,  I pray you.

(9)  And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him.  In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;

(10) And in the vine were three branches:  and it was as though it budded; and her blossoms shot forth, and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes.

(11) And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand:  and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharoah's cup; and I gave the cup into Pharoah's hand.

(12) And Joseph said unto him:  This is the interpretation of it?  The three branches are three days:

(13) Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh.s cup into his hand; after the former manner when thou wast his butler.

(14) But think of me when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness,  I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:

ADDENDUM:

When Joseph interpreted the dreams of his coprisoners, did Jehovah God used his gift of interpretation for his own benefit?
