The OT: PMDD—Pt. 19 :Joseph, the Cupbearer and the Baker


Genesis 40:1-23. Being falsely accused of attempted rape by his master’s wife, Joseph is thrown in prison. Before the Pharaoh ate or drank anything the cupbearer consumed it first to test for contamination. The cupbearer trusted the baker with his life and the Pharaoh trusted the cupbearer with his life. Apparently there was some security issue with the meals, and because the Pharaoh did not know who was at fault, he decided to incarcerate both until an investigation was complete. (4/27/10)
