The Torah may be very relevant and concise, but that just means that it gets its point across effectively. It is your hiddush that the point is to "the essence of the person spoken about". The fact that it is very relevant and precise does not prove your hiddush, so it isn't really relevant. It also might not be true, דברה תורה כלשון בני אדם, but that's tangential. | |

Who says Hazal understood that "it is this facet and virtue which stood as his merit forever." Furthermore, couldn't Hazal have gotten that from Mikha 7:20? | |

Even if your claim that the butler was indicating that he was more likely to be exonerated than he actually was, that wouldn't harm or even affect Yosef in any way, and provides no reason to act wantonly cruel to him. | |
