Genesis 41:8-15 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

8. The next morning the king was upset. So he called in his magicians and wise men and told them what he had dreamed. None of them could tell him what the dreams meant.

9. The king's personal servant said:Now I remember what I was supposed to do.

10. When you were angry with me and your chief cook, you threw us both in jail in the house of the captain of the guard.

11. One night we both had dreams, and each dream had a different meaning.

12. A young Hebrew, who was a servant of the captain of the guard, was there with us at the time. When we told him our dreams, he explained what each of them meant,

13. and everything happened just as he said it would. I got my job back, and the cook was put to death.

14. The king sent for Joseph, who was quickly brought out of jail. He shaved, changed his clothes, and went to the king.

15. The king said to him, “I had a dream, yet no one can explain what it means. I am told that you can interpret dreams.”
