Genesis 40:12-15

12Then Joseph said to him, “This is the 1interpretation of it: the three branches are three days; 13within three more days Pharaoh will 2lift up your head and restore you to your office; and you will put Pharaoh’s cup into his hand as in your former practice when you were his cupbearer. 14Only 3keep me in mind when it goes well for you, and please 4do me a kindness 5by mentioning me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this 6prison. 15For 7I was in fact kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing that they should have put me into the 8dungeon.”
