פירוש על בראשית 40:16

In our country there are many such baskets and sellers of fancy rolls — old French oublies — usually put them in these baskets.

THAT THE INTERPRETATION WAS GOOD. Onkelos rendered it that he interpreted it well. A similar use is found in the verses: Teach me fair discernment and knowledge;²⁸¹Ibid., 119:66. That they were ‘tovoth’ (fair),²⁸²Above, 6:2. which means “pretty.” The intent of the verse is to state that this man [the lord of the bakers] had scorned Joseph, thinking of him as not ever knowing how to interpret the dream, and he would never have told him the dream had he not seen that he interpreted for his friend in a fair and proper manner. It may be that the verse is saying: “And the lord of the bakers saw that he gave a favorable interpretation to the lord of the butlers and he rejoiced. He then told him his own dream which had caused him more anguish than that of his friend.”

כי טוב פתר, his interpretation sounded very convincing, was accepted as the true interpretation.
