Genesis  


40 : 1 Some time after this, thecupbearer of the king of Egypt and his baker committed an offense against their lord the king of Egypt.
40 : 2 And Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,
40 : 3 and he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison where Joseph was confined.
40 : 4 The captain of the guard appointed Joseph to be with them, and he attended them. They continued for some time in custody.
40 : 5 And one night they both dreamed&the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison&each his own dream, and each dream with its own interpretation.
40 : 6 When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were troubled.
40 : 7 So he asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house,Why are your faces downcast today?
40 : 8 They said to him,We have had dreams, and there is no one to interpret them.And Joseph said to them,Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell them to me.
40 : 9 So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph and said to him,In my dream there was a vine before me,
40 : 10 and on the vine there were three branches. As soon as it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters ripened into grapes.
40 : 11 Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup and placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand.
40 : 12 Then Joseph said to him,This is its interpretation:the three branches are three days.
40 : 13 In three days Pharaoh willlift up your head and restore you to your office, and you shall place Pharaoh's cup in his hand as formerly, when you were his cupbearer.
40 : 14 Only remember me, when it is well with you, and please do me the kindness to mention me to Pharaoh, and so get me out of this house.
40 : 15 ForI was indeed stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, andhere also I have done nothing that they should put me into the pit.
40 : 16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph,I also had a dream: there were three cake baskets on my head,
40 : 17 and in the uppermost basket there were all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating it out of the basket on my head.
40 : 18 And Joseph answered and said,This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days.
40 : 19 In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head&from you!&andhang you on a tree. And the birds will eat the flesh from you.
40 : 20 On the third day, which was Pharaoh'sbirthday, he made a feast for all his servants andlifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
40 : 21 He restored the chief cupbearer to his position, andhe placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand.
40 : 22 But hehanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
40 : 23 Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
