Genesis 40:1-13

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 furiousH7107 withH5921 twoH8147 of his officersH5631, with the chiefH8269 of the butlersH8248, and with the chiefH8269 of the bakersH644. 3And he putH5414 them in custodyH4929 in the houseH1004 of the captainH8269 of the guardH2876, into the prisonH1004H5470, 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 custodyH4929.

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, who were boundH631 in the prisonH1004H5470. 6And JosephH3130 cameH935 to 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, Why lookH6440 ye so sadH7451 to dayH3117?1 8And they saidH559 to him, We have dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472, and there is no interpreterH6622 of it. And JosephH3130 saidH559 to them, Do not interpretationsH6623 belong to GodH430? tell meH5608 them, I pray you. 9And the chiefH8269 butlerH8248 toldH5608 his dreamH2472 to JosephH3130, and saidH559 to him, In my dreamH2472, behold, a vineH1612 was before meH6440; 10And on the vineH1612 were threeH7969 branchesH8299: and it was as though it buddedH6524, and its blossomsH5322 shot forthH5927; and its clustersH811 brought forth ripeH1310 grapesH6025: 11And Pharaoh’sH6547 cupH3563 was in my handH3027: and I tookH3947 the grapesH6025, and pressedH7818 them into Pharaoh’sH6547 cupH3563, and I gaveH5414 the cupH3563 into Pharaoh’sH6547 handH3709. 12And JosephH3130 saidH559 to him, This is the interpretationH6623 of it: The threeH7969 branchesH8299 are threeH7969 daysH3117: 13YetH5750 within threeH7969 daysH3117 shall PharaohH6547 lift upH5375 thy headH7218, and restoreH7725 thee to thy placeH3653: and thou shalt deliverH5414 Pharaoh’sH6547 cupH3563 into his handH3027, after the formerH7223 mannerH4941 when thou wast his butlerH8248.2
