Genesis 40:1-13

1Then it cameH1961 about afterH310 theseH428 thingsH1697, 1the cupbearerH4945 and the bakerH644 for the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 offendedH2398 their lordH113, the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714. 2PharaohH6547 was 2furiousH7107 with his twoH8147 officialsH5631, the chiefH8269 cupbearerH4945 and the chiefH8269 bakerH644. 3So he putH5414 them in confinementH4929 in the houseH1004 of the 3captainH8269 of the bodyguardH2876, in the jailH1004H5470, the same placeH4725 whereH834H8033 JosephH3130 was imprisonedH631. 4The captainH8269 of the bodyguardH2876 putH6485 JosephH3130 in chargeH6485 of them, and he 4tookH8334 careH8334 of them; and they were in confinementH4929 for 5someH3117 timeH3117. 5Then the cupbearerH4945 and the bakerH644 for the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, whoH834 were confinedH631 in jailH1004H5470, bothH8147 hadH2492 a dreamH2472 the sameH259 nightH3915, eachH376 manH376 with his own dreamH2472 and eachH376 dreamH2472 with its own interpretationH6623. 66When JosephH3130 cameH935 to them in the morningH1242 and observedH7200 them, 7beholdH2009, they were dejectedH2196. 7He askedH7592 Pharaoh’sH6547 officialsH5631 whoH834 were with him in confinementH4929 in his master’sH113 houseH1004, “89WhyH4069 are your facesH6440 so sadH7451 todayH3117?” 8Then they saidH559 to him, “10We have 11hadH2492 a dreamH2472 and thereH369 is noH369 oneH369 to interpretH6622 it.” Then JosephH3130 saidH559 to them, “12Do not interpretationsH6623 belong to GodH430? TellH5608 it to me, pleaseH4994.”

9So the chiefH8269 cupbearerH4945 toldH5608 his dreamH2472 to JosephH3130, and saidH559 to him, “In my dreamH2472, 13beholdH2009, there was a vineH1612 in frontH6440 of me; 10and on the vineH1612 were threeH7969 branchesH8299. And as it was buddingH6524, its blossomsH5322 cameH5927 out, and its clustersH811 producedH1310 ripeH1310 grapesH6025. 11Now Pharaoh’sH6547 cupH3563 was in my handH3027; so I tookH3947 the grapesH6025 and squeezedH7818 them into Pharaoh’sH6547 cupH3563, and I putH5414 the cupH3563 into Pharaoh’sH6547 14handH3709.” 12Then JosephH3130 saidH559 to him, “ThisH2088 is the 15interpretationH6623 of it: the threeH7969 branchesH8299 are threeH7969 daysH3117; 13within threeH7969 moreH5750 daysH3117 PharaohH6547 will 16liftH5375 up your headH7218 and restoreH7725 you to your 17officeH3653; and you will putH5414 Pharaoh’sH6547 cupH3563 into his handH3027 according to your formerH7223 customH4941 whenH834 you were his cupbearerH4945.
