~Genesis 40:1 And it came to pass after these things, that the butler ofthe king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.
~Genesis 40:2 And Pharaoh was wroth against his two officers,against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
~Genesis 40:3 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain ofthe guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
~Genesis 40:4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them,and he ministered unto them: and they continued a season in ward.
~Genesis 40:5 And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man hisdream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of hisdream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were boundin the prison.
~Genesis 40:6 And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and sawthem, and, behold, they were sad.
~Genesis 40:7 And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him inward in his master's house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sad to-day?
~Genesis 40:8 And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream,and there is none that can interpret it. And Joseph said unto them, Donot interpretations belong to God? tell it me, I pray you.
~Genesis 40:9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and saidto him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
~Genesis 40:10 and in the vine were three branches: and it was asthough it budded, [and] its blossoms shot forth; [and] the clustersthereof brought forth ripe grapes:
~Genesis 40:11 and Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took thegrapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup intoPharaoh's hand.
~Genesis 40:12 And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation ofit: the three branches are three days;
~Genesis 40:13 within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head,and restore thee unto thine office: and thou shalt give Pharaoh's cupinto his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
~Genesis 40:14 But have me in thy remembrance when it shall be wellwith thee, and show kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and makemention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
~Genesis 40:15 for indeed I was stolen away out of the land of theHebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put meinto the dungeon.
~Genesis 40:16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation wasgood, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, threebaskets of white bread were on my head:
~Genesis 40:17 and in the uppermost basket there was of all mannerof baked food for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of thebasket upon my head.
~Genesis 40:18 And Joseph answered and said, This is theinterpretation thereof: the three baskets are three days;
~Genesis 40:19 within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy headfrom off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thyflesh from off thee.
~Genesis 40:20 And it came to pass the third day, which wasPharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and helifted up the head of the chief butler and the head of the chief bakeramong his servants.
~Genesis 40:21 And he restored the chief butler unto his butlershipagain; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
~Genesis 40:22 but he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph hadinterpreted to them.
~Genesis 40:23 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, butforgat him
