Genesis 40

1 And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt, and the baker, had sinned against their lord the king of Egypt.

And it came to pass after these things, that the chief cupbearer of the king of Egypt and the chief baker trespassed against their lord the king of Egypt.

2 Then fell the wroth of Pharaoh upon his two courtiers, upon the chief of the butlers, and upon the chief of the bakers;

And Pharao was angry with his two eunuchs, with his chief cupbearer, and with his chief baker.

3 so he delivered them up into the ward of the house of the chief of the royal executioners, into the prison, —the place where Joseph was imprisoned.

And he put them in ward, into the prison, into the place whereinto Joseph had been led.

4 And the chief of the royal executioners charged Joseph with them and he waited upon them, and they were some days in ward.

And the chief keeper of the prison committed them to Joseph, and he stood by them; and they were [some] days in the prison.

5 And they dreamed a dream they two, each man, his dream in one night, each man, according to the interpretation of his dream, —the butler and the baker who belonged to the king of Egypt, who were imprisoned in the prison.

And they both had a dream in one night; and the vision of the dream of the chief cupbearer and chief baker, who belonged to the king of Egypt, who were in the prison, was this.

6 And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, —and looked at them, and lo! they were sad.

Joseph went in to them in the morning, and saw them, and they had been troubled.

7 So he asked Pharaoh’s courtiers who were with him in the ward of his lord’s house, saying, Why are your faces troubled to-day!

And he asked the eunuchs of Pharao who were with him in the prison with his master, saying, Why is it that your countenances are sad today?

8 And they said unto him, A dream, have we dreamed, but there is none, to interpret, it. Then said Joseph unto them—Is it not unto God, that interpretations belong? Relate it. I pray you, to me.

And they said to him, We have seen a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, Is not the interpretation of them through god? tell [them] than to me.

9 And the chief of the butlers related his dream to Joseph, —and said to him, In my dream, then lo! a vine, before me;

And the chief cupbearer related his dream to Joseph, and said, In my dream a vine was before me.

10 and, in the vine, three shoots, —and the same at sprouting time, had shot up her blossom, and her clusters had brought to perfection ripe grapes.

And in the vine [were] three stems; and it budding shot forth blossoms; the clusters of grapes were ripe.

11 Now, the cup of Pharaoh, being in my hand, I took the ripe grapes and pressed them out into the cup of Pharaoh, and set the cup upon Pharaoh’s palm.

And the cup of Pharao was in my hand; and I took the bunch of grapes, and squeezed it into the cup, and gave the cup into Pharao's hand.

12 And Joseph said to him, This, is the interpretation thereof, —The three shoots are three days:

And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it. The three stems are three days.

13 In three days more, will Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee to thine office, and thou shalt set the cup of Pharaoh in his hand, according to the former custom when thou wast his butler.

Yet three days and Pharao shall remember your office, and he shall restore you to your place of chief cupbearer, and you shall give the cup of Pharao into his hand, according to your former high place, as you were wont to be cupbearer.

14 But if thou remember how I was with thee when it shall go well with thee, then wilt thou I pray thee do me a lovingkindness, —and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me forth out of this house;

But remember me of yourself, when it shall be well with you, and you shall deal mercifully with me, and you shall make mention of me to Pharao, and you shall bring me forth out of this dungeon.

15 For I was, stolen, out of the land of the Hebrews, —and, even here, had I done nothing, that they should have put me in the dungeon,

For surely I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here I have done nothing, but they have cast me into this pit.

16 Then the chief of the bakers, seeing that he had well interpreted, said unto Joseph, I, too, was in my dream, when lo! three wicker baskets of fine bread were on my head;

And the chief baker saw that he interpreted aright; and he said to Joseph, I also saw a dream, and I thought I took up on my head three baskets of mealy food.

17 and, in the uppermost basket, was some of every kind of food for Pharaoh that a baker could make, —but, the birds, kept eating them out of the basket from off my head.

And in the upper basket there was the work of the baker of every kind which Pharao eats; and the fowls of the air ate them out of the basket that was on my head.

18 And Joseph responded and said, This, is the interpretation thereof, The three baskets, are, three days:

And Joseph answered and said to him, This is the interpretation of it; The three baskets are three days.

19 In three days more, will Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hang thee upon a tree, and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.

Yet three days, and Pharao shall take away your head from off you, and shall hang you on a tree, and the birds of the sky shall eat your flesh from off you.

20 And it came to pass on the third day the birthday of Pharaoh, that he made a banquet for all his servants, and uplifted the head of the chief of the butlers and the head of the chief of the bakers in the midst of his servants;

And it came to pass on the third day that it was Pharao's birth-day, and he made a banquet for all his servants, and he remembered the office of the cupbearer and the office of the baker in the midst of his servants.

21 and restored the chief of the butlers to his butlership, so that he set the cup upon the palm of Pharaoh;

And he restored the chief cupbearer to his office, and he gave the cup into Pharao's hand.

22 but, the chief of the bakers, he hanged, —as, Joseph, had interpreted unto them.

And he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph, interpreted to them.

23 Yet the chief of the butlers made no mention of Joseph but did forget him.

Yet did not the chief cupbearer remember Joseph, but forgot him.
