The number three often symbolizes completeness or divine intervention, as seen in other scriptures such as Jonah's three days in the fish (<a href="/jonah/1-17.htm">Jonah 1:17</a>) and Jesus' resurrection on the third day (<a href="/matthew/16-21.htm">Matthew 16:21</a>).Pharaoh will lift up your head "Lifting up the head" is an idiomatic expression meaning to restore someone to their former status or position. In ancient Egyptian culture, the Pharaoh had absolute authority, and his decisions were seen as divinely sanctioned. This phrase foreshadows the cupbearer's restoration and contrasts with the baker's fate later in the chapter.and restore your position Restoration here implies a return to a previous state of favor and responsibility. The cupbearer’s role was significant, as he was responsible for the safety and quality of the Pharaoh's wine, a position of trust and intimacy with the king. This restoration can be seen as a type of redemption, reflecting themes of forgiveness and grace.You will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand This phrase highlights the cupbearer's duties, which included serving wine to the Pharaoh. The act of placing the cup in Pharaoh's hand signifies trust and the resumption of his official duties. This role was crucial in the royal court, as it involved both service and protection against potential poisoning.just as you did when you were his cupbearer This part of the verse emphasizes the return to a former state of service and trust. It suggests a reinstatement to a position of honor and reliability. The cupbearer's past service is acknowledged, indicating that his previous loyalty and competence are being recognized and rewarded. This mirrors the biblical theme of faithfulness being rewarded, as seen in parables like the faithful servant (<a href="/matthew/25-21.htm">Matthew 25:21</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/joseph.htm">Joseph</a> A Hebrew man who was sold into slavery by his brothers and ended up in Egypt.
