40:1And after these things, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt. Compare
40:2And Pharaoh was angry with his two officials, the chief of the cupbearers and the chief of the bakers. Compare
40:3And he put them in custody at the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison, the place where Joseph was confined. Compare
40:4And the captain of the guard put Joseph in charge of them, and he ministered to them; and they were in custody for some time. Compare
40:5And the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, both of them had a dream, each man with his own dream in one night, and each dream with its own interpretation. Compare
40:6And Joseph came to them in the morning and looked at them, and they were troubled. Compare
40:7And he asked Pharaoh's officials, who were with him in custody in his master's house, saying, Why are your faces so sad today? Compare
40:8And they said to him, We have had a dream, and there is no one to interpret it. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me. Compare
40:9And the chief of the cupbearers told his dream to Joseph and said to him, In my dream there was a vine before me, Compare
40:10And on the vine were three branches. And as soon as it budded, its blossoms came out, and its clusters ripened into grapes. Compare
40:11And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I put the cup in Pharaoh's hand. Compare
40:12And Joseph said to him, This is its interpretation: The three branches are three days. Compare
40:13Within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office, and you will put Pharaoh's cup into his hand according to your former custom when you were his cupbearer. Compare
40:14But remember my being with you when it is well with you, and please do me a kindness and make mention of me to Pharaoh and so have me brought out of this house. Compare
40:15For I was actually kidnapped out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have not done anything that they should put me into the dungeon. Compare
40:16Now when the chief of the bakers saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also saw this in my dream: There were three baskets of white bread on my head. Compare
40:17And in the uppermost basket there were all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head. Compare
40:18And Joseph answered and said, This is its interpretation: The three baskets are three days. Compare
40:19Within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head from you and will hang you on a tree, and the birds will eat your flesh from you. Compare
40:20And on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief of the cupbearers and the head of the chief of the bakers among his servants. Compare
40:21And he restored the chief of the cupbearers to his cupbearing, and he put the cup into Pharaoh's hand; Compare
40:22But the chief of the bakers he hanged, just as Joseph had interpreted to them. Compare
40:23Yet the chief of the cupbearers did not remember Joseph, but forgot him. Compare
