²¹ the Lord was with him;^(A) he showed him kindness^(B) and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.^(C)

⁴ The king said to me, “What is it you want?”

Then I prayed to the God of heaven,

¹⁰ and rescued him from all his troubles. He gave Joseph wisdom and enabled him to gain the goodwill of Pharaoh king of Egypt. So Pharaoh made him ruler over Egypt and all his palace.^(A)

²⁷ Praise be to the Lord, the God of our ancestors, who has put it into the king’s heart^(A) to bring honor^(B) to the house of the Lord in Jerusalem in this way ²⁸ and who has extended his good favor^(C) to me before the king and his advisers and all the king’s powerful officials. Because the hand of the Lord my God was on me,^(D) I took courage and gathered leaders from Israel to go up with me.

I was cupbearer^(C) to the king.
