Genesis 40:9-15

9And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me; 10And on the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and its blossoms shot forth; and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes: 11And Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand. 12And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days: 13Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee to thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.1 14But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness to me, I pray thee, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:2 15For indeed I was stolen away from the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
