1 The chief butler and baker of Pharaoh being imprisoned,
Joseph is charged with them.
5 He interprets their dreams.
20 They are accomplished according to his interpretation.
23 The ingratitude of the butler, in forgetting Joseph.
VERSE 1
- it came.
* Ge 39:20-23 Es 6:1
- the butler.
{Mashkeh,} from {shakah,} to give drink, is the same as
{saky} among the Arabians and Persians, and signifies a
cup-bearer.
* :13 Ne 1:11; 2:1,2
VERSE 2
- wroth.
* Ps 76:10 Pr 16:14; 19:12,19; 27:4 Ac 12:20
- the chief of the butlers.
* 1Ch 27:27
VERSE 3
- the place.
* Ge 39:20,23
- where Joseph was bound.
Or, "where Joseph was confined," for he doubtless had his
personal liberty. This place, we learn from the preceding
chapter, (ver. 20,) was the king's prison. All the officers
in the employment of the ancient kings of Egypt, according to
Diodorus Siculus, were taken from the most illustrious
families of the priesthood in the country; no slave or common
person being ever permitted to serve in the presence of the
king. As these persons were of the most noble families, it
is natural to expect they would be put, when accused, into
the state prison.
VERSE 4
- the captain.
* Ge 37:36; 39:1,21-23 Ps 37:5
- a season.
{Yamim,} literally days; how long is uncertain, though the
word may signify, as many suppose, a complete year (see Ge
3 4:3; 55 24:55); and as Pharaoh called them to an account on his
birthday, (ver. 20,) Calmet supposes they had offended on the
preceding birthday, and thus had been one whole year in
prison.

- And I took, etc.
From this we find that wine anciently was the mere expressed
juice of the grape, without fermentation. The {saky,} or
cup-bearer, took the bunch, pressed the juice into the cup,
and instantly delivered it to his master.
