What does Genesis 41:11 mean?
One of the court officials to Egypt's ruler is explaining his experience in prison. The man was jailed, then released, and his freedom was predicted by a fellow prisoner (Genesis 40:20–22). Joseph had heard of the cupbearer's dream and accurately interpreted it (Genesis 40:9–13). More recently, the king—known by the title Pharaoh—has struggled to find meaning in two disturbing dreams of his own. Until now, the cupbearer has said nothing about Joseph (Genesis 40:23), but now seems to believe there is benefit in speaking up.The cupbearer will continue by describing Joseph as "a young Hebrew," and noting how his dream interpretation was perfectly accurate (Genesis 41:12–13).
