What does Genesis 41:13 mean?

The ruler of Egypt, called by the title "Pharaoh," is struggling to understand two dreams (Genesis 41:1–7). This inspires one of his court officials to speak up. This man is a cupbearer, likely in charge of serving and protecting the king's wine. Some time ago, this man was jailed (Genesis 40:2). In prison, he and another official had prophetic dreams. These dreams were accurately interpreted by one of their fellow prisoners, Joseph (Genesis 40:20–22; 41:9–12).

What Joseph claimed about these dreams came true exactly as he had said. This would have been of great interest to Pharaoh, since his own advisors were unable to give his dreams meaning (Genesis 41:8). This will lead to yet another sudden change in Joseph's status, as the Egyptian king has him summoned from the jail (Genesis 41:14).
