Genesis 40:7 in Context — Genesis 40
5 Pendant une même nuit, l’échanson et le panetier du roi d’Égypte, qui étaient enfermés dans la prison, eurent tous les deux un songe, chacun le sien, pouvant recevoir une explication distincte.
6 Joseph, étant venu le matin vers eux, les regarda; et voici, ils étaient tristes.
7 Alors il questionna les officiers de Pharaon, qui étaient avec lui dans la prison de son maître, et il leur dit: Pourquoi avez-vous mauvais visage aujourd’hui?
8 Ils lui répondirent: Nous avons eu un songe, et il n’y a personne pour l’expliquer. Joseph leur dit: N’est-ce pas à Dieu qu’appartiennent les explications? Racontez-moi donc votre songe.
9 Le chef des échansons raconta son songe à Joseph, et lui dit: Dans mon songe, voici, il y avait un cep devant moi.
