(The context of the story implies that Yoseph was placed in charge over the drinker and the baker. The structure of the sentence as written should be translated as "and the noble of the slaughterers visited Yoseph with them." The verb "visit" is written in the text as simple-active (Visit) but should be in the causative-active (make~Visit) which would then be translated as "and the noble of the slaughterers set Yoseph over them.")
