Genesis 40:8
Genesis 40:8 in Multiple Translations
“We both had dreams,” they replied, “but there is no one to interpret them.” Then Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams.”
And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.
And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell it me, I pray you.
Then they said to him, We have had a dream, and no one is able to give us the sense. And Joseph said, Does not the sense of dreams come from God? what was your dream?
“We've both had dreams but can't find anyone to explain what they mean,” they said. So Joseph told them, “Isn't God the one who can interpret the meaning of dreams? Tell me your dreams.”
Who answered him, We haue dreamed, eche one a dreame, and there is none to interprete the same. Then Ioseph saide vnto them, Are not interpretations of God? tell them me nowe.
And they say unto him, 'A dream we have dreamed, and there is no interpreter of it;' and Joseph saith unto them, 'Are not interpretations with God? recount, I pray you, to me.'
They said to him, “We have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it.” Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me.”
And they said to him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.
They answered: We have dreamed a dream, and there is nobody to interpret it to us. And Joseph said to them: Doth not interpretation belong to God? Tell me what you have dreamed.
One of them answered, “We both had dreams last night, but there is no one who can tell us the meaning of the dreams.” Joseph said to them, “God is the only one who can [RHQ] tell the meaning of dreams. So tell me what you dreamed, and God will tell me the meaning.”
Then those 2 men said to Joseph, “We both had dreams last night, but we don’t understand what those dreams mean, and there is nobody here that can tell us what they mean.” Joseph said, “Only God can tell people what dreams mean. Please tell me about your dreams. God will show me what they mean.”

Context — The Cupbearer and the Baker
6When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were distraught.
7So he asked the officials of Pharaoh who were in custody with him in his master’s house, “Why are your faces so downcast today?”
8“We both had dreams,” they replied, “but there is no one to interpret them.” Then Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams.”
9So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream: “In my dream there was a vine before me, 10and on the vine were three branches. As it budded, its blossoms opened and its clusters ripened into grapes.Cross References

Genesis 40:8 Summary
[Genesis 40:8 teaches us that God is the one who gives us understanding and wisdom, and we should seek Him for guidance. Just like Joseph, we can trust that God will give us the interpretation we need, as seen in Genesis 37:5-11. This means we don't have to rely on our own abilities, but can instead look to God for help, as encouraged in Proverbs 3:5-6. By seeking God's wisdom, we can navigate life's challenges with confidence and trust in His plan.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that interpretations belong to God?
In Genesis 40:8, Joseph acknowledges that God is the ultimate source of wisdom and understanding, which is also seen in Daniel 2:28 where it says God reveals mysteries to those He chooses.
Why did the cupbearer and baker have dreams but no one to interpret them?
The cupbearer and baker were likely aware of the importance of dreams in their culture, as seen in Genesis 37:5-11 where Joseph's dreams were significant, but without a skilled interpreter, their dreams remained a mystery until Joseph offered to help.
Can anyone interpret dreams like Joseph did?
While Joseph was given a special gift by God to interpret dreams, as seen in Genesis 37:5-11, it's also important to remember that the Bible teaches us to test all things and hold fast to what is good, as mentioned in 1 Thessalonians 5:21, and to seek wisdom from God in all areas of life.
How does this verse relate to our lives today?
This verse reminds us that God is the source of all wisdom and understanding, and we should seek Him for guidance, as encouraged in Proverbs 3:5-6, which says to trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I need God's interpretation and guidance?
- How can I, like Joseph, trust that God will give me wisdom and understanding in difficult situations?
- What are some dreams or desires that I have been putting off or not understanding, and how can I seek God's interpretation for them?
- In what ways can I, like Joseph, use my gifts and talents to serve others and bring glory to God?
Gill's Exposition on Genesis 40:8
And they said unto him, we have dreamed a dream,.... Each of them: and [there is] no interpreter of it; in that place in which they were, the prison; otherwise there were persons enough in the land
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Genesis 40:8
And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the prison. They dreamed a dream.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Genesis 40:8
There is no interpreter of it, to wit, with us, or to whom we can now resort; for otherwise there were many in Egypt of that profession, . Do not interpretations belong to God? In vain do you expect such things from your wise men, for it is only that God who sends these dreams that can interpret them, and to him you should seek for it. Tell me, who am the servant of the true God, who useth to communicate his secrets to his people, and who, I doubt not, will hear my prayers for this mercy. This he spoke by special direction and instinct from God, who had given this gift to him.
Trapp's Commentary on Genesis 40:8
Genesis 40:8 And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and [there is] no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, [Do] not interpretations [belong] to God? tell me [them], I pray you.Ver. 8. And there is no interpreter.] The superstitious Egyptians did curiously observe their dreams; and commonly repaired to the soothsayers for an interpretation. Joseph calls these idolaters from their superstitions vanities to the living God; as Isaiah did those of his time, and Daniel those of his. He had consulted with God by prayer, and with the Scripture, which revealed sufficient direction to him, and so soon despatched the interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar’ s dream. So Joseph here; he suffered "troubles as an evildoer, even unto bonds: but the word of God is not bound."
Ellicott's Commentary on Genesis 40:8
(8) There is no interpreter.—In Egypt it was the business of men trained for the purpose, called in Genesis 41:8, magicians and wise men, to interpret dreams, and to such the butler and baker could have no access from their prison. But Joseph denies that art and training can really avail, and claims that the interpretation belongs to God.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Genesis 40:8
Verse 8. There is no interpreter] They either had access to none, or those to whom they applied could give them no consistent, satisfactory meaning. Do not interpretations belong to God?] God alone, the Supreme Being, knows what is in futurity; and if he have sent a significant dream, he alone can give the solution.
Cambridge Bible on Genesis 40:8
8. none that can interpret it] The Egyptians regarded the interpretation of dreams as a science requiring special study; or as a department of magic needing special initiation. Had the two officials been at liberty, they would have each repaired to their special soothsayer or dream-interpreter for an explanation of the dream that had so greatly disturbed them. belong to God] Joseph claims that the interpretation of dreams is neither science nor magic. The man, to whom God reveals His secrets, alone can interpret them. He himself does not pretend to interpret. But, possibly, God may make use of His servant to make known His mind, cf. Genesis 41:16; Genesis 41:38-39 and Daniel 2:19; Daniel 2:28; Daniel 2:47.
Whedon's Commentary on Genesis 40:8
8. Do not interpretations belong to God — He who had been visited with prophetic dreams in childhood, (Genesis 37:5; Genesis 37:9,) believed that God alone could interpret them. Comp. Genesis 41:16; Genesis 41:25; Genesis 41:32.
