2 E irou-se Faraó contra seus dois eunucos, contra o principal dos copeiros, e contra o principal dos padeiros:
3 E os pôs em prisão na casa do capitão dos da guarda, na casa do cárcere onde José estava preso.
4 E o capitão dos da guarda deu responsabilidade deles a José, e ele lhes servia: e estiveram dias na prisão.
5 E ambos, o copeiro e o padeiro do rei do Egito, que estavam detidos na prisão, viram um sonho, cada um seu sonho em uma mesma noite, cada um conforme a declaração de seu sonho.
6 E veio a eles José pela manhã, e olhou-os, e eis que estavam tristes.
