Reading for July 2nd

 Read Genesis 40.1-23. In 40.1-23: Joseph interprets the dreams of two prisoners. In verse 5: This is the second of three dreams sequence in the Joseph narrative. (37.5-11; 40.5-23; 41.1-36). The dreams always occur in pairs, here with quite different futures predicted. Joseph shifts his role from the dreamer of dreams to an interpreter of other's dreams. In verse 13: The phrase Pharaoh will life up your head has a positive meaning of exaltation for the cupbearer. The same phrase in v.19 has a very negative meaning  of execution by hanging for the baker (vv. 20-22). Comments or Questions..
