Genesis 40:9-15

9So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, 1saying to him, “In my dream, 2behold, 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 3hand.” 12Then Joseph said to him, “This is the 4interpretation of it: the three branches are three days; 13within three more days Pharaoh will 5lift 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 6keep me in mind when it goes well for you, and please 7do me a kindness 8by mentioning me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this 9prison. 15For 10I 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 11dungeon.”
