Konteks 40:2 Pharaoh was enraged with his two officials,1 the cupbearer and the baker,
40:3 so he imprisoned them in the house of the captain of the guard in the same facility where Joseph was confined.
[40:2]1tn The Hebrew word סָרִיס (saris), used here of these two men and of Potiphar (see 39:1), normally means “eunuch.” But evidence from Akkadian texts shows that in early times the title was used of a court official in general. Only later did it become more specialized in its use.
