Genesis 40:1-13

1Some time after this, the cupbearer of the king of Egypt and his baker committed an offense against their lord the king of Egypt.

2And Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,

3and he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison where Joseph was confined.

4The captain of the guard appointed Joseph to be with them, and he attended them. They continued for some time in custody.

5And one night they both dreamed—the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison—each his own dream, and each dream with its own interpretation.

6When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were troubled.

7So he asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, "Why are your faces downcast today?"

8They said to him, "We have had dreams, and there is no one to interpret them." And Joseph said to them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell them to me."

9So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph and said to him, "In my dream there was a vine before me,

10and on the vine there were three branches. As soon as it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters ripened into grapes.

11Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup and placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand."

12Then Joseph said to him, "This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.

13In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office, and you shall place Pharaoh's cup in his hand as formerly, when you were his cupbearer.
