C. F. Keil and Franz Delitzsch on Genesis 40:5-7

Gen 40:5-7

After some time (“days,” Gen 40:4, as in Gen 4:3), and on the same night, these two prisoners had each a peculiar dream, “each one according to the interpretation of his dream;” i.e., each one had a dream corresponding to the interpretation which specially applied to him. On account of these dreams, which seemed to them to have some bearing upon their fate, and, as the issue proved, were really true omens of it, Joseph found them the next morning looking anxious, and asked them the reason of the trouble which was depicted upon their countenances.
