1. Mosebok 40,4

Joseph
Serving others

2 Farao ble meget sint på sine to embetsmenn, overmunnskjenken og overbakeren.

3 Han satte dem i forvaring i huset til høvdingen over livvakten, i det samme fengselet hvor Josef var innesperret.

Høvdingen over livvakten satte dem under Josefs oppsyn, og han tok seg av dem; de var i forvaring en tid.

5 Munnskjenken og bakeren for kongen av Egypt, som var innesperret i fengselet, hadde hver sin drøm samme natt, og hver drøm hadde sin egen betydning.

6 Da Josef kom til dem om morgenen, la han merke til at de var nedtrykte.
