Genesis 40:1-8
1And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that the butlerH8248 of the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 and his bakerH644 had offendedH2398 their lordH113 the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714. 2And PharaohH6547 was wrothH7107 againstH5921 twoH8147 of his officersH5631, against the chiefH8269 of the butlersH8248, and against the chiefH8269 of the bakersH644. 3And he putH5414 them in wardH4929 in the houseH1004 of the captainH8269 of the guardH2876, into the prisonH5470H1004, the placeH4725 where JosephH3130 was boundH631. 4And the captainH8269 of the guardH2876 chargedH6485 JosephH3130 with them, and he servedH8334 them: and they continued a seasonH3117 in wardH4929.
5And they dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472 both of themH8147, each manH376 his dreamH2472 in oneH259 nightH3915, each manH376 according to the interpretationH6623 of his dreamH2472, the butlerH8248 and the bakerH644 of the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, which were boundH631 in the prisonH5470H1004. 6And JosephH3130 came inH935 unto them in the morningH1242, and lookedH7200 upon them, and, behold, they were sadH2196. 7And he askedH7592 Pharaoh’sH6547 officersH5631 that were with him in the wardH4929 of his lord’sH113 houseH1004, sayingH559, Wherefore lookH6440 ye so sadlyH7451 to dayH3117?1 8And they saidH559 unto him, We have dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472, and there is no interpreterH6622 of it. And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto them, Do not interpretationsH6623 belong to GodH430? tell meH5608 them, I pray you.
