Genesis 40:5-14
5Then the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, who were confined in jail, both had a dream the same night, each man with his own dream and each dream with its own interpretation. 61When Joseph came to them in the morning and observed them, 2behold, they were dejected. 7He asked Pharaoh’s officials who were with him in confinement in his master’s house, “34Why are your faces so sad today?” 8Then they said to him, “5We have 6had a dream and there is no one to interpret it.” Then Joseph said to them, “7Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell it to me, please.”
9So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “In my dream, 8behold, there was a vine in front of me; 10and on the vine were three branches. And as it was budding, its blossoms came out, and its clusters produced ripe grapes. 11Now Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; so I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I put the cup into Pharaoh’s 9hand.” 12Then Joseph said to him, “This is the 10interpretation of it: the three branches are three days; 13within three more days Pharaoh will 11lift up your head and restore you to your 12office; and you will put Pharaoh’s cup into his hand according to your former custom when you were his cupbearer. 14Only 13keep me in mind when it goes well with you, and please 14do me a kindness 15by mentioning me to Pharaoh and get me out of this house.
