Context of Genesis 40:10

8“We both had dreams,” they answered him, “but there’s no one to tell us what they mean.” “Isn’t God the only one who can tell what they mean?” Joseph asked them. “Why don’t you tell me all about them.” 9So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream. He said “In my dream a grapevine with three branches appeared in front of me. Soon after it sprouted it blossomed.

I put the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.” 12“This is what it means,” Joseph said to him. “The three branches are three days.
