📚 Historical Context
In the book of Genesis, Joseph, a Hebrew who had been sold into slavery by his brothers, was wrongfully imprisoned in Egypt after being accused by Potiphar's wife. There, he met Pharaoh's cupbearer and baker, who were also in prison and had each experienced troubling dreams. Joseph, empowered by God, interpreted their dreams accurately, which predicted the cupbearer's restoration and the baker's execution.
