Kejadian 40:4-6

40:4 The captain of the guard appointed Joseph to be their attendant, and he served them. ¹ 

They spent some time in custody. ²  40:5 Both of them, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, had a dream ³  the same night. ⁴  Each man’s dream had its own meaning. ⁵  40:6 When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were looking depressed. ⁶ 

Kejadian 40:8

40:8 They told him, “We both had dreams, ⁷  but there is no one to interpret them.” Joseph responded, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Tell them ⁸  to me.”

¹ sn He served them. This is the same Hebrew verb, meaning “to serve as a personal attendant,” that was translated “became [his] servant” in 39:4.

² tn Heb “they were days in custody.”

³ tn Heb “dreamed a dream.”

⁴ tn Heb “a man his dream in one night.”

⁵ tn Heb “a man according to the interpretation of his dream.”

⁶ tn The verb זָעַף (za’af) only occurs here and Dan 1:10. It means “to be sick, to be emaciated,” probably in this case because of depression.

⁷ tn Heb “a dream we dreamed.”

⁸ tn The word “them” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
