Genesis 41:12 in context

The verses around it, from Genesis 41.

8 In the morning his spirit was troubled, so he summoned all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.

9 Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I recall my failures.

10 Pharaoh was once angry with his servants, and he put me and the chief baker in the custody of the captain of the guard.

11 One night both the chief baker and I had dreams, and each dream had its own meaning.

12 Now a young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him our dreams and he interpreted them for us individually.

13 And it happened to us just as he had interpreted: I was restored to my position, and the other man was hanged.”

14 So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, who was quickly brought out of the dungeon. After he had shaved and changed his clothes, he went in before Pharaoh.

15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, and no one can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”

16 “I myself cannot do it,” Joseph replied, “but God will give Pharaoh a sound answer.”
