Genesis 41:12-14
New English Translation
12 Now a young man, a Hebrew, a servant[a] of the captain of the guards,[b] was with us there. We told him our dreams,[c] and he interpreted the meaning of each of our respective dreams for us.[d] 13 It happened just as he had said[e] to us—Pharaoh[f] restored me to my office, but he impaled the baker.”[g]
14 Then Pharaoh summoned[h] Joseph. So they brought him quickly out of the dungeon; he shaved himself, changed his clothes, and came before Pharaoh.
