**butler** = the cupbearer. [Nehemiah 1:11](../../../kjv/nehemiah/1/11) .
**baker.** A Papyrus, in the National Library, Paris (nineteenth dynasty), gives the name of a similar officer (Djadja), the chief; and mentions "114,064 loaves made in the white fortress". (See *Records of the Past,* vol. ii, p. 126.)

**season.** Hebrew days ([Genesis 4:3](../../../kjv/genesis/4/3) ) = either "some days" ([Genesis 4:3](../../../kjv/genesis/4/3) ), or, perhaps, a year.

**dreamed a dream.** Figure of speech *Polyptoton* ( App-6 ), i.e. had a significant or important dream.

**pressed, &c.** A religious ceremony, connected with the worship of *Horus,* portrayed in Egyptian paintings. Existence of vines in Egypt has been denied by critics; but now they are seen depicted in paintings. In the cup was honey, or some other liquid, with which the grape juice was mixed.

**are.** Should be "they [are]".

**lift up thine head** = uplift thee, i.e. restore thee to favour. For this was the highest honour that the cupbearer could have.

**think on me, &c.** Compare [Luke 23:42](../../../kjv/luke/23/42) .

**white,** or, wicker.

**are** = "they [are]. "

**from off thee.** Contrast this with [Genesis 40:13](../../../kjv/genesis/40/13) .

**birthday.** These were observed with great ceremony and state. Critics have *supposed* it to be only a Persian custom. The Rosetta stone contains a decree concerning the keeping of the birthday feast of Ptolemy Epiphanes.

**restored.** Compare [Genesis 40:13](../../../kjv/genesis/40/13) , and See [Genesis 41:1](../../../kjv/genesis/41/1) , [Genesis 41:3](../../../kjv/genesis/41/3) .

**hanged.** Compare [Genesis 40:19](../../../kjv/genesis/40/19) , and See [Genesis 41:13](../../../kjv/genesis/41/13) .
**as** = according as.

**but forgat him.** Figure of speech *Pleonasm.* App-6 . Used for great emphasis. Compare [Amos 6:6](../../../kjv/amos/6/6) .
