King James Version
Some
time
later
, the king’s
cupbearer
and baker offended their master,
the king of Egypt.
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.
Pharaoh was angry
with
his
two officers, the chief cupbearer
and the chief baker,
And
Pharaoh was wroth
against
two of
his
officers, against
the chief of
the
butlers,
and against
the chief of
the
bakers.
and imprisoned
them in the house of the captain of the guard, the same
prison where Joseph was confined
.
And he
put
them in ward
in
the house of the captain of the guard, into
the prison ,
the
place
where Joseph was bound
.
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
the captain of the guard charged
Joseph with
them
, and he served
them:
and
they continued
a
season
in ward.
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
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.
When
Joseph came to
them in the morning, he
saw
that
they were distraught
.
And
Joseph came in
unto
them in the morning, and
looked
upon
them,
and,
behold,
they were sad
.
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
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
?
“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
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
.
So
the chief cupbearer
told Joseph
his dream :
“
In my dream there
was
a vine before me ,
And
the chief butler
told his dream to
Joseph,
and
said
to
him,
In my dream ,
behold,
a vine was
before me ;
and on
the vine were three branches .
As it budded, its
blossoms opened
and its
clusters ripened
into
grapes .
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 :
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
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.
Joseph replied
, “
This is the interpretation: The three branches are three days .
And
Joseph said
unto
him
, This is the interpretation of
it
: The three branches are three days :
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
.
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
.
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.
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:
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. ”
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.
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 .
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 :
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
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.
Joseph replied
, “
This is the interpretation: The three baskets are three days .
And
Joseph answered
and
said
, This is the interpretation thereof
: The three baskets are three days :
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
. ”
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
.
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
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
.
Pharaoh
restored the chief cupbearer
to
his position,
so
that
he
once
again placed
the cup in
Pharaoh’s
hand .
And
he
restored the chief butler
unto
his butlership
again ;
and
he
gave
the cup into
Pharaoh's
hand :
But Pharaoh
hanged the chief baker ,
just
as Joseph had described
to them in
his
interpretation
.
But he
hanged the chief baker :
as Joseph had interpreted
to them.
The
chief
cupbearer,
however,
did not remember Joseph ;
he
forgot
all
about
him.
Yet
did not the
chief
butler
remember Joseph ,
but
forgat
him.
