Read Genesis 40.1-23
Joseph interprets the dreams of two prisoners.
In verse 5: This is the second of three dream sequences in the Joseph narrative (37.11; 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 the Pharaoh will lift up your head has a positive meaning of exhalation for the cupbearer.
The same phrase in v.19 has a very negative meaning of execution by hanging for the baker (vv. 20-22).
