And
it
came
to
pass
after
these
things
, that
the butler
of
the
king
of
Egypt
and his
baker offended their lord
the king of Egypt.
Some
time
later
, the king’s
cupbearer
and baker offended their master,
the king of Egypt.
And
Pharaoh was wroth
against
his two officers, against
the chief of
the
butlers,
and against
the chief of
the
bakers.
Pharaoh was angry
with
his two officers, the chief cupbearer
and the chief baker,
And he
put
them in ward
in
the house of the captain of the guard, into
the prison ,
the
place
where Joseph was bound
.
and imprisoned
them in the house of the captain of the guard, the same
prison where Joseph was confined
.
And
the captain of the guard charged
Joseph
with
them, and he ministered
unto
them:
and
they continued
a
season
in ward.
The captain of the guard assigned
them to
Joseph
, and he became
their
personal
attendant.
After
they had
been
in custody
for
some
time,
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.
both of these
men—
the Egyptian
king’s
cupbearer
and baker, who were being
held
in the prison —had
a
dream
on
the
same
night,
and
each
dream
had
its
own
meaning
.
And
Joseph came in
unto
them in the morning, and
saw them,
and,
behold,
they were sad
.
When
Joseph came to
them in the morning, he
saw that
they were distraught
.
And
he asked Pharaoh's
officers
that
were with him in ward
in
his master's
house, saying,
Wherefore
look
ye
so sad
to-day
?
So
he asked the
officials
of
Pharaoh
who
were in
custody
with him in his master’s
house, “Why
are
your
faces
so downcast
today
? ”
And
they
said
unto
him,
We have
dreamed
a
dream
, and
there is none
that
can
interpret it
. And
Joseph said unto
them, Do
not
interpretations belong to God? tell it
me ,
I
pray
you
.
“
We both
had
dreams
, ”
they
replied,
“but
there is no
one
to
interpret them
. ”
Then
Joseph said to
them, “Don’t
interpretations belong to God? Tell me your
dreams
. ”
And
the chief butler
told his dream to
Joseph,
and
said
to
him,
In my dream ,
behold,
a vine was
before me ;
So
the chief cupbearer
told Joseph
his dream :
“
In my dream there
was
a vine before me ,
and in
the vine were three branches :
and
it
was
as though
it budded, `and'
its blossoms shot
forth;
`
and '
the
clusters thereof
brought
forth
ripe
grapes :
and on
the vine were three branches .
As it budded, its blossoms opened
and its
clusters ripened
into
grapes .
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.
Pharaoh’s
cup was in my hand ,
and I took the grapes, squeezed
them into his
cup, and placed
the cup in
his
hand. ”
And
Joseph said
unto
him
, This is the interpretation of
it
: the three branches are three days ;
Joseph replied
, “
This is the interpretation: The three branches are three days .
within yet
three days shall
Pharaoh lift up thy
head ,
and restore thee
unto
thine
office:
and
thou
shalt
give
Pharaoh's
cup into
his hand, after
the
former
manner
when thou
wast
his butler
.
Within three days Pharaoh will
lift up your
head and restore your
position.
You
will
put
Pharaoh’s
cup in
his hand, just
as
you
did
when you
were
his cupbearer
.
But have
me
in
thy
remembrance
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:
But when it goes
well for
you
, please
remember
me
and show me kindness
by
mentioning
me to
Pharaoh, that
he
might
bring me out of this prison.
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.
For I was kidnapped
from
the land of the Hebrews ,
and even
here I have
done nothing for
which
they should have
put me in
this
dungeon. ”
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good
, he said unto
Joseph, I also
was
in
my
dream ,
and,
behold,
three baskets of white bread were
on my head :
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable
, he said to
Joseph, “
I too
had
a
dream :
There
were
three baskets of white bread on my head .
and
in the uppermost
basket there
was
of
all manner
of baked food
for Pharaoh ;
and
the birds did
eat
them out of the basket upon
my head.
In the top
basket were
all sorts
of baked goods
for Pharaoh ,
but
the birds were
eating
them out of the basket on
my head. ”
And
Joseph answered
and
said
, This is the interpretation thereof
: the three baskets are three days ;
Joseph replied
, “
This is the interpretation: The three baskets are three days .
within yet
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
.
Within three days Pharaoh will
lift off your
head
and hang you
on a tree .
Then
the birds will
eat the
flesh of
your
body
. ”
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 the head
of
the
chief baker among
his
servants
.
On
the third day, which was Pharaoh’s
birthday, he held
a feast for
all his officials,
and in
their
presence
he lifted up the heads
of the chief cupbearer
and the chief baker.
And
he
restored the chief butler
unto
his butlership
again;
and
he gave
the cup into
Pharaoh's
hand :
Pharaoh
restored the chief cupbearer
to
his position,
so
that
he once
again
placed
the cup in
Pharaoh’s
hand .
but he
hanged the chief baker :
as Joseph had interpreted
to them.
But Pharaoh
hanged the chief baker ,
just
as Joseph had described
to them in
his
interpretation
.
Yet
did
not
the chief butler
remember Joseph ,
but
forgat
him.
The chief cupbearer,
however,
did
not
remember Joseph ;
he
forgot
all
about
him.
