Commentary on Genesis 40:14

Theological / Devotional

Think on me. Joseph appealed his case to Pharaoh. He had been abducted from the land of the Hebrews (see ch. 39:14), which was the reason he was now in Egypt, and had been imprisoned, though innocent of any crime. If Joseph lived in Egypt under the Hyksos, as the evidence seems to indicate, the cupbearer was probably not an Egyptian. Joseph might therefore more reasonably expect help from him than if he had been an Egyptian. Investigation of Joseph’s case, if ordered by the king, would involve Joseph’s master, a native Egyptian (ch. 39:1).
