Ibn Ezra on Genesis 40:21/אבן עזרא על בראשית מ׳:כ״א
אעל משקהו. שם, כי "אשר היית משקהו" (בראשית מ יג) פועל:
1UNTO HIS BUTLERSHIP. Mashkehu (his butlership) here is a noun.33 means his drink. The meaning of our verse is: And he restored the chief butler back to being in charge of his drink. In verse 13 it means, gives him to drink. However, mashkehu in when thou wast his butler (mashkehu) (v. 13) is a verb.
