What does Genesis 40:1 mean?
Joseph's position in Pharaoh's house was about to change in an unexpected way. The king's cupbearer and baker had done something to displease him, and both were thrown into prison where Joseph was already being held. This simple detail sets up one of the most remarkable turning points in Joseph's story, where his gift for understanding dreams will finally open a door to freedom and influence.
