📚 Historical Context
In the biblical narrative, Joseph was imprisoned in Egypt after being sold into slavery by his brothers and falsely accused by Potiphar's wife, where he served as a prisoner under the Egyptian authorities. While in prison, he encountered Pharaoh's chief cupbearer and chief baker, who had been confined there for offending the king and were troubled by dreams they experienced. When Joseph saw them in the morning, he noticed their sadness, which prompted him to inquire about their distress and eventually led to his interpretation of their dreams.
