Genesis 40:8 in Context — Genesis 40
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.
10 Ce cep avait trois sarments. Quand il eut poussé, sa fleur se développa et ses grappes donnèrent des raisins mûrs.
