“And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.”
Some time later, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their master the king of Egypt. The placement of these two officials in prison is the divine arrangement that brings the right people to Joseph at the right time. The application: the offenses of others — their failures and falls — become the occasions for God's providential positioning. The cupbearer and baker did not fall from the king's favor for Joseph's benefit, but their fall creates the encounter that changes Joseph's trajectory.
