| The Webster Online Bible (WEB) | ||||||||||||||||
| 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. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:2 | And Pharaoh was wroth with two of his officers, with the chief of the butlers, and with the chief of the bakers. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:3 | And he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:4 | And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them; and they continued a season in custody. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:5 | 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, who were bound in the prison. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:6 | And Joseph came to them in the morning, and looked upon them, and behold, they were sad. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:7 | And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Why look ye so sad to-day? | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:8 | And they said to him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:9 | And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me; | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:10 | And on the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and its blossoms shot forth; and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes: | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:11 | 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. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:12 | And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days; | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:13 | Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee to thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:14 | But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness to me, I pray thee, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house: | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:15 | For indeed I was stolen away from the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:16 | When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also was in my dream, and behold, I had three white baskets on my head: | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:17 | And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bake-meats for Pharaoh; and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:18 | And Joseph answered, and said, This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days: | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:19 | 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. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:20 | And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birth-day, that he made a feast to all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:21 | And he restored the chief butler to his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand: | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:22 | But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 40:23 | Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him. | |||||||||||||||
