Genesis 40:3
40:3 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the
     guard, into the prison, the place where {a} Joseph [was]
     bound.

     (a) God works in many wonderful ways to deliver his own.

Genesis 40:5
40:5 And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream
     in one night, {b} each man according to the interpretation
     of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of
     Egypt, which [were] bound in the prison.

     (b) That is, every dream had his interpretation, as the
         thing afterward declared.

Genesis 40:8
40:8 And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and [there
     is] no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, {c}
     [Do] not interpretations [belong] to God? tell me [them], I
     pray you.

     (c) Cannot God raise up such as shall interpret such
         things.

Genesis 40:12
40:12 And Joseph said unto him, This {d} [is] the interpretation
      of it: The three branches [are] three days:

      (d) He was reassured by the spirit of God, that his
          interpretation was true.

Genesis 40:14
40:14 But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew
      kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and {e} make mention of me
      unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:

      (e) He does not refuse the method of deliverance which he
          thought God had appointed.

Genesis 40:16
40:16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good,
      he said unto Joseph, I also [was] in my dream, and,
      behold, [I had] three {f} white baskets on my head:

      (f) That is made of white twigs, or as some read, baskets
          full of holes.

Genesis 40:18
40:18 And Joseph answered and said, {g} This [is] the
      interpretation thereof: The three baskets [are] three
      days:

      (g) He shows that the ministers of God should not conceal
          that, which God reveals to them.

Genesis 40:20
40:20 And it came to pass the third day, [which was] Pharaoh's
      {h} birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants:
      and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the
      chief baker among his servants.

      (h) Which was an occasion to appoint his officers, and to
          examine those who were in prison.
