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.
