| The Book of Genesis 40 | ||||||||||||||||
| The Douay-Rheims Version Online Bible (DRV) | ||||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:1 | After this, it came to pass, that two eunuchs, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, offended their lord. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:2 | And Pharao being angry with them (now the one was chief butler, the other chief baker) | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:3 | He sent them to the prison of the commander of the soldiers, in which Joseph also was prisoner, | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:4 | But the keeper of the prison delivered them to Joseph, and he served them. Some little time passed, and they were kept in custody. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:5 | And they both dreamed a dream the same night, according to the interpretation agreeing to themselves: | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:6 | And when Joseph was come in to them in the morning, and saw them sad, | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:7 | He asked them, saying: Why is your oountenance sadder to day than usual? | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:8 | They answered: We have dreamed a dream, and there is nobody to interpret it to us. And Joseph said to them: Both not interpretation belong to God? Tell me what you have dreamed. g The chief butler first told his dream: I saw before me a vine, | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:10 | On which were three branches, which by little and little sent out buds, and after the blossoms brought forth ripe grapes : | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:11 | And the cup of Pharao was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into the cup which I held, and I gave the cup to Pharao. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:12 | Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three branches are yet three days: | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:13 | After which Pharao will remember thy service, and will restore thee to thy former place: and thou shah present him the cup according to thy office, as before thou wast wont to do. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:14 | Only remember me, when it shall be well with thee, and do me this kindness: to put Pharao in mind to take me out of this prison: | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:16 | For I was stolen away out of the land I of the Hebrews, and here without any fault was cast into the dungeon. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:16 | The chief baker seeing that he had wisely interpreted the dream, said: I also dreamed a dream, That I bed three baskets of meal upon my heed: | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:17 | And that in one basket which was uppermost, I carried all meats that are made by the art of baking, and that the birds ate out of it. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:18 | Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three baskets are yet three days: | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:19 | After which Pharao will take thy hand from thee, and hang thee on a cross, and the birds shall tear thy flesh. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:20 | The third day after this was the birthday of Pharao: and he made a. great feast for his servants, and at the banquet remembered the chief butler, and the chief baker. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:21 | And he restored the one to his place to present him the cup: | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:22 | The other he hanged on a gibbet, that the truth of the interpreter might be shewn. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:23 | But the chief butler, when things prospered with him, forgot his interpreter. | |||||||||||||||
