What does Genesis 40:10 mean?
Pharaoh's former cupbearer and baker (Genesis 40:1–4), imprisoned with Joseph (Genesis 39:11–15), have both dreamed prophetic dreams on the same night (Genesis 40:5–8). Joseph, claiming that God will reveal the meaning of those dreams, has asked to hear them.The cupbearer's dream involved a grapevine (Genesis 40:9), no surprise for someone who's profession involved wine. In his dream, the vine's three branches developed into ripe grapes extremely quickly. Modern readers might picture a time lapse video of grapes growing. The cupbearer will continue to explain how he gives the results to Pharaoh, and Joseph will explain this to be a good sign (Genesis 40:11–13).
