9Then the chiefH8269 cupbearerH4945 spokeH1696 to PharaohH6547, sayingH559, “I would make mentionH2142 todayH3117 of 1my own 2offensesH2399. 10PharaohH6547 was 3furiousH7107 with his servantsH5650, and 4he putH5414 me in confinementH4929 in the houseH1004 of the captainH8269 of the bodyguardH2876, both me and the chiefH8269 bakerH644. 115We hadH2492 a dreamH2472 6on the sameH259 nightH3915, 7he and I; eachH376 of us dreamedH2492 according to the interpretationH6623 of his own dreamH2472. 12Now a HebrewH5680 youthH5288 was with us thereH8033, a 8servantH5650 of the captainH8269 of the bodyguardH2876, and we relatedH5608 them to him, and 9he interpretedH6622 our dreamsH2472 for us. To eachH376 oneH376 he interpretedH6622 according to his own dreamH2472. 13And justH3512 10as he interpretedH6622 for us, soH3651 it happenedH1961; he restoredH7725 me in my 11officeH3653, but he hangedH8518 him.”

14Then PharaohH6547 sentH7971 and 12calledH7121 for JosephH3130, and they 13hurriedlyH7323 broughtH7323 him out of the dungeonH953; and when he had shavedH1548 himself and changedH2498 his clothesH8071, he cameH935 to PharaohH6547. 15PharaohH6547 saidH559 to JosephH3130, “I have hadH2492 a dreamH2472, 14but noH369 oneH369 can interpretH6622 it; and 15I have heardH8085 16it saidH559 aboutH5921 you, that 17when you hearH8085 a dreamH2472 you can interpretH6622 it.” 16JosephH3130 then answeredH6030 PharaohH6547, sayingH559, “1819It is not in me; 20GodH430 will 21giveH6030 PharaohH6547 a favorableH7965 answerH6030.”
