Genesis Chapter 40

1 After this, the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.
2 Pharaoh was angry against two of his officers, the chief of the butlers and the chief of the bakers.
3 He put them under guard in the house of the chief of the executioners, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
4 The chief of the executioners charged Joseph with them and he served them and they continued for a time under guard.
5 They dreamed a dream, both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.
6 Joseph came in to them in the morning, and looked upon them, and behold, they were sad.
7 He asked Pharaoh's eunuchs who were with him under guard in his lord's house saying, Why are your faces sad today?
8 They said to him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? Now tell it to me.
9 The chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me.
10 In the vine were three branches. And it was as if it budded, and its blossom shot up. And the clusters of it brought forth ripe grapes.
11 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.
12 Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it. The three branches are three days.
13 Yet within three days Pharaoh shall lift up your head and restore you to your place. And you shall deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, just as you did when you were his cupbearer.
14 But remember me when it is well with you, and please show kindness to me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.
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.
16 When the chief baker saw the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also saw in my dream, and three baskets of white bread were on my head.
17 In the top basket were all kinds of baked foods for Pharaoh. And the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.
18 Joseph said, This is the interpretation of it. The three baskets are three days.
19 Yet within three days Pharaoh shall lift up your head from off you, and shall hang you on a tree. And the birds shall eat your flesh from off you.
20 On the third day, Pharaoh's birthday, he made a feast to all his servants. And he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer, and of the chief baker, among his servants.
21 He restored the chief cupbearer back into his cupbearer office again. And he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
22 But he hanged the chief baker, even as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23 Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
