Joseph Interprets Dreams - KJV

Joseph Probably Did Not Consider His Prison Experience to Be His First Choice as a Learning Situation. But He Did Try to Serve God Faithfully Wherever He Found Himself.

1. Joseph Interprets Dreams.

Genesis 40:1-4 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. [2] And ____________ was wroth against two of his ______________, against the chief of the ____________, and against the chief of the bakers.

[4] And the captain of the guard ____________ Joseph with them, and he served them: and they ________________ a __________ in ward.

Genesis 40:5-8 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. [6] And Joseph came in unto them in the ____________, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad. [7] And he asked ______________ officers that were with him in the ward of his lords house, __________, ________________ look ye so sadly to day? [8] And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no ___________________ of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not ___________________________ __________ to God? tell me them, I pray you.

Genesis 40:9-15 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me; [10] And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and her ______________ shot forth; and the ______________ thereof ____________ forth ripe grapes: [11] And Pharaohs cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and ____________ them into Pharaohs cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaohs hand. [12] And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days: [13] Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and ____________ thee unto thy place: and thou shalt ____________ Pharaohs cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler. [14] But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew ______________, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house: [15] For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the ____________: and here also have I done ____________ that they __________ put me into the ____________.

Genesis 40:16-23 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head: [17] And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of ________________ for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head. [18] And Joseph ______________ and said, This is the interpretation ____________: The three baskets are three days: [19] Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee. [20] And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaohs ______________, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he __________ up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants. [21] And he ______________ the chief butler unto his __________________ again; and he gave the cup into Pharaohs hand: [22] But he __________ the chief baker: as Joseph had ___________________ to them. [23] Yet did not the chief butler ______________ Joseph, but __________ him.

Sometimes we learn things in hard times that we forget when times get better.
