CHAP. XL.
In this chapter things are working, though slowly, towards Joseph's advancement. I. Two of Pharaoh's servants are committed to prison, and there to Joseph's care, and so become witnesses of his extraordinary conduct, Genesis 40:1-4. II. They dreamed each of them a dream, which Joseph interpreted (Genesis 40:5-19), and the event verified the interpretation (Genesis 40:20-22), and so they became witnesses of his extraordinary skill. III. Joseph recommends his case to one of them, whose preferment he foresaw (Genesis 40:14; Genesis 40:15), but in vain, Genesis 40:23.
