Genesis 41:9-16

9Then the chiefH8269 cupbearerH4945 saidH1696 toH854 PharaohH6547H559, “TodayH3117 IH589 recallH2142 my failuresH2399. 10PharaohH6547 was once angryH7107 withH5921 his servantsH5650, and he putH5414 meH853 andH853 the chiefH8269 bakerH644 in the custodyH4929H1004 of the captainH8269 of the guardH2876. 11OneH259 nightH3915 bothH1931 the chief baker and IH589 had dreamsH2492H2472, and eachH376 dreamH2472H2492 had its own meaningH6623. 12Now a youngH5288 HebrewH5680 was thereH8033 with usH854, a servantH5650 of the captainH8269 of the guardH2876. We told himH5608 our dreams and he interpretedH6622 them for usH853 individuallyH376H2472H6622. 13And it happenedH1961 to us just asH834 he had interpretedH6622H3651H1961: I was restoredH7725 toH5921 my positionH3653, and the other man was hangedH8518.”

14So PharaohH6547 sent forH7971H7121 JosephH3130, who was quickly broughtH7323 out ofH4480 the dungeonH953. After he had shavedH1548 and changedH2498 his clothesH8071, he went inH935 beforeH413 PharaohH6547.

15PharaohH6547 saidH559 toH413 JosephH3130, “I had a dreamH2472H2492, and noH369 one can interpret itH6622. But IH589 have heardH8085 it saidH559 of youH5921 that when you hearH8085 a dreamH2472 you can interpret itH6622.”

16“I myself cannot do itH1107,” JosephH3130 repliedH6030H6547H559, “but GodH430 will give PharaohH6547 a soundH7965 answerH6030.”
