“And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, 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.”
Each of the two men — the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were being held in prison — had a dream the same night, and each dream had a meaning of its own. The simultaneous dreams of the two officials is the occasion for Joseph's gift of interpretation. The application: the gifts God gives are given for the specific moments that require them. Joseph's gift of dream interpretation has been developing since his own dreams in Genesis 37; it is about to be deployed.
