Genesis 40
1. And it came to pass after these things, that the butler * of the king of Egypt and his baker * had offended * their lord the king of Egypt.
2. And Pharaoh was wroth * against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers * , and against the chief of the bakers * .
3. And he put * them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound * .
4. And the captain of the guard charged * Joseph with them, and he served * them: and they continued a season in ward.
5. And they dreamed * a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler * and the baker * of the king of Egypt, which were bound * in the prison.
6. And Joseph came in * unto them in the morning, and looked * upon them, and, behold, they were sad * .
7. And he asked * Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying * , Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?
8. And they said * unto him, We have dreamed * a dream, and there is no interpreter * of it. And Joseph said * unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me * them, I pray you.
9. And the chief butler * told * his dream to Joseph, and said * to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
10. And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded * , and her blossoms shot forth * ; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe * grapes:
11. And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand:and I took * the grapes, and pressed * them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave * the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
12. And Joseph said * unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:
13. Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up * thine head, and restore * thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver * Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler * .
14. But think * on me when it shall be well * with thee, and shew * kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention * of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me * out of this house:
15. For indeed I was stolen away * out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done * nothing that they should put * me into the dungeon.
16. When the chief baker * saw * that the interpretation * was good,he said * unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head:
17. And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats * for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat * them out of the basket upon my head.
18. And Joseph answered * and said * , This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:
19. Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up * thy head from off thee, and shall hang * thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat * thy flesh from off thee.
20. And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday * , that he made * a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up * the head of the chief butler * and of the chief baker * among his servants.
21. And he restored * the chief butler * unto his butlership again * ; and he gave * the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
22. But he hanged * the chief baker * : as Joseph had interpreted * to them.
23. Yet did not the chief butler * remember * Joseph, but forgat * him.
