GE-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.
GE-40:2 And Pharaoh was wroth against two [of] his officers,
against
the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
GE-40:3 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of
the
guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph [was] bound.
GE-40:4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them,
and he
served them: and they continued a season in ward.
GE-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, which [were] bound in
the
prison.
GE-40:6 And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked
upon
them, and, behold, they [were] sad.
GE-40:7 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?
GE-40:8 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.
GE-40:9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said
to
him, In my dream, behold, a vine [was] before me;
GE-40:10 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:
GE-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.
GE-40:12 And Joseph said unto him, This [is] the interpretation
of
it: The three branches [are] three days:
GE-40:13 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.
GE-40:14 But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and
show
kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto
Pharaoh,
and bring me out of this house:
GE-40:15 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.
GE-40:16 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:
GE-40:17 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.
GE-40:18 And Joseph answered and said, This [is] the
interpretation
thereof: The three baskets [are] three days:
GE-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.
GE-40:20 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.
GE-40:21 And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership
again;
and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
GE-40:22 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had
interpreted to
them.
GE-40:23 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but
forgat
him.
