Genesis 40:9-15

9So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph: “In my dream there was a vine in front of me.

10On the vine were three branches. As soon as it budded, its blossoms came out and its clusters ripened into grapes.

11Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.”

12“This is its interpretation,” Joseph said to him. “The three branches are three days.

13In just three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your position. You will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand the way you used to when you were his cupbearer.

14But when all goes well for you, remember that I was with you. Please show kindness to me by mentioning me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this prison.

15For I was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing that they should put me in the dungeon.”
