What does Genesis 41:10 mean?

The ruler of Egypt is given the title "Pharaoh." In this passage, that king is trying to interpret a pair of disturbing dreams (Genesis 41:1–8). His cupbearer, a trusted court member, has come forward with some helpful information. That man was once imprisoned (Genesis 40:1–4), then freed. While in prison, he encountered Joseph (Genesis 40:9–13), who correctly predicted the meaning of the cupbearer's dream (Genesis 40:20–22). For reasons not explained, the man has not mentioned this incident until now, some two years later (Genesis 40:23).

It's likely the cupbearer deliberately failed to mention Joseph; he probably did not want to stir up any more trouble. Now, with the king's magicians stumped, there is an opportunity for benefit. Since the chance to be seen as helping Pharaoh outweighs the risk of reminding him of past offenses, he speaks up (Genesis 41:11–13).
