9So the chiefH8269 cupbearerH4945 toldH5608 his dreamH2472 to JosephH3130, and saidH559 to him, “In my dreamH2472, 1beholdH2009, 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 2handH3709.” 12Then JosephH3130 saidH559 to him, “ThisH2088 is the 3interpretationH6623 of it: the threeH7969 branchesH8299 are threeH7969 daysH3117; 13within threeH7969 moreH5750 daysH3117 PharaohH6547 will 4liftH5375 up your headH7218 and restoreH7725 you to your 5officeH3653; and you will putH5414 Pharaoh’sH6547 cupH3563 into his handH3027 according to your formerH7223 customH4941 whenH834 you were his cupbearerH4945. 14OnlyH3588H518 6keepH2142 me in mind whenH3512 it goesH3190 wellH3190 with you, and pleaseH4994 7doH6213 me a kindnessH2617 8by mentioningH2142 me to PharaohH6547 and getH3318 me out of thisH2088 houseH1004. 15For 9I was in factH1589 kidnappedH1589 from the landH776 of the HebrewsH5680, and evenH1571 hereH6311 I have doneH6213 nothingH3808H3972 that they should have putH7760 me into the 10dungeonH953.”
