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.

And he said to the servants of Pharaoh who were in prison with him, Why are you looking so sad?

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,

Then they said to him, We have had a dream, and no one is able to give us the sense. And Joseph said, Does not the sense of dreams come from God? what was your dream?

Genesis 40:10

On which were three branches, which by little and little sent out buds, and after the blossoms brought forth ripe grapes :

Then the chief wine-servant gave Joseph an account of his dream, and said, In my dream I saw a vine before me;

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.

And on the vine were three branches; and it seemed as if it put out buds and flowers, and from them came grapes ready for cutting.

Genesis 40:12

Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three branches are yet three days:

And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and crushing them into Pharaoh's cup, gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.

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.

Then Joseph said, This is the sense of your dream: the three branches are three days;

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:

After three days Pharaoh will give you honour, and put you back into your place, and you will give him his cup as you did before, when you were his wine-servant.

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.

But keep me in mind when things go well for you, and be good to me and say a good word for me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison:

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:

For truly I was taken by force from the land of the Hebrews; and I have done nothing for which I might be put in prison.

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.

Now when the chief bread-maker saw that the first dream had a good sense, he said to Joseph, I had a dream; and in my dream there were three baskets of white bread on my head;

Genesis 40:18

Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three baskets are yet three days:

And in the top basket were all sorts of cooked meats for Pharaoh; and the birds were taking them out of the baskets on my head.

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.

Then Joseph said, This is the sense of your dream: the three baskets are three days;

Now the third day was Pharaoh's birthday, and he gave a feast for all his servants; and he gave honour to the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker among the others.

Genesis 40:22

And he put the chief wine-servant back in his old place; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
