Pharaoh's anger reflects the volatile nature of royal favor and the precarious position of those serving in the royal court. In the broader biblical narrative, this incident is part of God's providential plan to elevate Joseph. The anger of a king is a recurring theme in Scripture, often leading to significant outcomes (e.g., <a href="/esther/1-12.htm">Esther 1:12</a>, <a href="/daniel/3-19.htm">Daniel 3:19</a>).<p><b>and he put me and the chief baker in the custody of the captain of the guard</b><br>This phrase indicates the severe consequences of falling out of favor with Pharaoh. The "captain of the guard" is likely Potiphar, who previously purchased Joseph as a slave (<a href="/genesis/39.htm">Genesis 39:1</a>). This connection underscores the divine orchestration of events, as Joseph's imprisonment leads to his eventual rise to power. The mention of the "chief baker" alongside the cupbearer suggests a high-level conspiracy or offense, as both held significant positions in Pharaoh's court. This incident foreshadows Joseph's ability to interpret dreams, a gift from God that ultimately leads to his deliverance and rise to prominence.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/pharaoh.htm">Pharaoh</a></b><br>The ruler of Egypt, considered a god by his people, who had the power to imprison or release individuals at his discretion.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/j/joseph.htm">Joseph</a></b><br>Although not directly mentioned in this verse, he is a central figure in the surrounding account, known for his ability to interpret dreams.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/c/chief_cupbearer.htm">Chief Cupbearer</a></b><br>The speaker in this verse, who was imprisoned alongside the chief baker and later restored to his position.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/c/chief_baker.htm">Chief Baker</a></b><br>Another servant of Pharaoh who was imprisoned and later executed, as interpreted by Joseph.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/c/captain_of_the_guard.htm">Captain of the Guard</a></b><br>The official responsible for the prison where Joseph, the cupbearer, and the baker were held.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_in_trials.htm">God's Sovereignty in Trials</a></b><br>Even in unjust circumstances, God is in control and can use difficult situations for His purposes.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/f/faithfulness_in_small_things.htm">Faithfulness in Small Things</a></b><br>Joseph's faithfulness in prison, interpreting dreams accurately, led to his eventual rise to power.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_remembering_god's_servants.htm">The Importance of Remembering God's Servants</a></b><br>The cupbearer's eventual remembrance of Joseph highlights the importance of acknowledging those who help us.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/d/divine_timing.htm">Divine Timing</a></b><br>God's timing is perfect, as seen in how Joseph's interpretation of dreams eventually led to his elevation at the right moment.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/trust_in_god's_plan.htm">Trust in God's Plan</a></b><br>Like Joseph, we should trust that God has a plan for our lives, even when we cannot see it.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_genesis_41.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Genesis 41</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_the_bible_say_on_pyramids.htm">What does the Bible say about pyramids?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/could_pharaoh_trust_an_ex-prisoner_fully.htm">Genesis 41:39-40: Is it plausible that Pharaoh would entrust total authority over Egypt to someone just released from prison based solely on dream interpretation?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_abraham's_servant's_journey_plausible.htm">How historically plausible is it that Abraham's servant traveled such a long distance (Genesis 24:10) with little mention of logistical challenges or hardships?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_no_egyptian_record_of_joseph's_rise.htm">Genesis 41:14-15: Why does no Egyptian record mention a Hebrew slave suddenly elevated to such a high position in Pharaoh's court?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/genesis/41-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Pharaoh</span><br /><span class="heb">פַּרְעֹ֖ה</span> <span class="translit">(par·‘ōh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun -
