Cupbearer:
an officer of high rank with Egyptian, Persian and Assyrian as well as Jewish monarchs (1 Kings 10:5). It was his duty to fill the king's cup and present it to him personally (Nehemiah 1:11). The chief cupbearer, or butler, to the king of Egypt was the means of raising Joseph to his high position (Genesis 40:1, 21; 41:9).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
