Then it came about after these things, that ^athe cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt. 2 And Pharaoh was ^afurious with his two officials, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker. 3 So he put them in confinement in the house of the ^acaptain of the bodyguard, in the prison, the same place where Joseph was imprisoned. 4 And the captain of the bodyguard put Joseph in charge of them, and he ¹took care of them; and they were in confinement for ²some time. 5 Then the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, both had a dream the same night, each man with his own dream and each dream with its own interpretation. 6 ¹When Joseph came to them in the morning and saw them, ²behold, they were dejected. 7 So he asked Pharaoh’s officials who were with him in confinement in his master’s house, “^1aWhy are your faces so sad today?” 8 And they said to him, “^aWe have ¹had a dream, and there is no one to interpret it.” Then Joseph said to them, “^bDo interpretations not belong to God? Tell it to me, please.”

9 So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, ¹saying to him, “In my dream, ²behold, there was a vine in front of me; 10 and on the vine were three branches. And as it was budding, its blossoms came out, and its clusters produced ripe grapes. 11 Now 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 ¹hand.” 12 Then Joseph said to him, “This is the ^ainterpretation of it: the three branches are three days; 13 within three more days Pharaoh will ¹lift 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. 14 Only ¹keep me in mind when it goes well for you, and please ^ado me a kindness ²by mentioning me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this ³prison. 15 For ^aI 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 ¹dungeon.”

16 When the chief baker saw that he had interpreted favorably, he said to Joseph, “I also saw in my dream, and behold, there were three baskets of white bread on my head; 17 and in the top basket there were some of all ¹kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.” 18 Then Joseph answered and said, “This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days; 19 within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head from you and will hang you on a wooden post, and the birds will eat your flesh off you.”

20 So it came about on the third day, which was ^aPharaoh’s birthday, that he held a feast for all his servants; ^band he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants. 21 He restored the chief cupbearer to his ¹office, and ^ahe put the cup into Pharaoh’s ²hand; 22 but ^ahe hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had interpreted to them. 23 Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but ^aforgot him.

Then it came about after these things, ^athe cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt. 2 Pharaoh was ^afurious with his two officials, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker. 3 So he put them in confinement in the house of the ^acaptain of the bodyguard, in the jail, the same place where Joseph was imprisoned. 4 The captain of the bodyguard put Joseph in charge of them, and he ¹took care of them; and they were in confinement for ²some time. 5 Then the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, who were confined in jail, both had a dream the same night, each man with his own dream and each dream with its own interpretation. 6 ¹When Joseph came to them in the morning and observed them, ²behold, they were dejected. 7 He asked Pharaoh’s officials who were with him in confinement in his master’s house, “^1aWhy are your faces so sad today?” 8 Then they said to him, “^aWe have ¹had a dream and there is no one to interpret it.” Then Joseph said to them, “^bDo not interpretations belong to God? Tell it to me, please.”

9 So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “In my dream, ¹behold, there was a vine in front of me; 10 and on the vine were three branches. And as it was budding, its blossoms came out, and its clusters produced ripe grapes. 11 Now 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 ¹hand.” 12 Then Joseph said to him, “This is the ^ainterpretation of it: the three branches are three days; 13 within three more days Pharaoh will ¹lift up your head and restore you to your ²office; and you will put Pharaoh’s cup into his hand according to your former custom when you were his cupbearer. 14 Only ¹keep me in mind when it goes well with you, and please ^ado me a kindness ²by mentioning me to Pharaoh and get me out of this house. 15 For ^aI 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 ¹dungeon.”

16 When the chief baker saw that he had interpreted favorably, he said to Joseph, “I also saw in my dream, and behold, there were three baskets of white bread on my head; 17 and in the top basket there were some of all ¹sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.” 18 Then Joseph answered and said, “This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days; 19 within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head from you and will hang you on a tree, and the birds will eat your flesh off you.”

20 Thus it came about on the third day, which was ^aPharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants; ^band he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants. 21 He restored the chief cupbearer to his ¹office, and ^ahe put the cup into Pharaoh’s ²hand; 22 but ^ahe hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had interpreted to them. 23 Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but ^aforgot him.

Now some time later, ^athe cupbearer (butler) and the baker for the king of Egypt offended their lord, Egypt’s king. 2 Pharaoh (¹Sesostris II) was ^aextremely angry with his two officials, the chief of the cupbearers and the chief of the bakers. 3 He put them in confinement in the house of the ^acaptain of the guard, in the same prison where Joseph was confined. 4 The captain of the guard put Joseph in charge of them, and he served them; and they continued to be in custody for some time. 5 Then the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, both dreamed a dream in the same night, each man with his own significant dream and each dream with its personal interpretation. 6 When Joseph came to them in the morning and looked at them, he saw that they were sad and depressed. 7 So he asked Pharaoh’s officials who were in confinement with him in his master’s house, “^aWhy do you look so down-hearted today?” 8 And they said to him, “^aWe have each dreamed distinct dreams and there is no one to interpret them.” So Joseph said to them, “^bDo not interpretations belong to God? Please tell me your dreams.”

9 So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “In my dream there was a grapevine in front of me; 10 and on the vine were three branches. Then as soon as it budded, its blossoms burst open, and its clusters produced ripe grapes in rapid succession. 11 Now Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh’s cup; then I placed the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.” 12 Then Joseph said to him, “This is the ^ainterpretation of it: the three branches represent three days; 13 within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head (present you in public) and restore you to your position; and you will again put Pharaoh’s cup into his hand just as you did when you were his cupbearer. 14 Only think of me when it goes well with you, and please ^ashow me kindness by mentioning me to Pharaoh and get me out of this house. 15 For in fact ^aI was ¹taken (stolen) from the land of the Hebrews by unlawful force, and even here I have done nothing for which they should put me in the dungeon.”

16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation of the dream was good, he said to Joseph, “I also dreamed, and in my dream there were three cake baskets on my head; 17 and in the top basket there were some of all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds of prey were eating these foods out of the basket on my head.” 18 Joseph answered, “This is the interpretation of it: the three baskets represent three days; 19 within three more days Pharaoh will ¹lift up your head and will hang you on a tree (gallows, pole) , and you will not so much as be given a burial, but the birds will eat your flesh.”

20 Now on the third day, which was the ^aPharaoh’s birthday, he released the two men from prison and made a feast for all his servants; ^band he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker that is, presented them in public among his servants. 21 He restored the chief cupbearer to his office, and ^athe cupbearer once again put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand; 22 but Pharaoh ^ahanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had interpreted the meaning of the dreams to them. 23 Yet even after all that the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but ^aforgot all about him.

Now it happened that after these things, ^athe cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt. 2 And Pharaoh was ^afurious with his two officials, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker. 3 So he put them in confinement in the house of the ^acaptain of the bodyguard, in the jail, the same place where Joseph was imprisoned. 4 And the captain of the bodyguard appointed Joseph as overseer over them, and he ¹attended to them; and they were in confinement for ²some time. 5 Then the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, who were confined in jail, both had a dream the same night, each man with his own dream and each dream with its own interpretation. 6 Now Joseph came to them in the morning and saw them, and behold, they were dejected. 7 So he asked Pharaoh’s officials who were with him in confinement in his master’s house, saying, “^aWhy are your faces so sad today?” 8 Then they said to him, “^aWe have ¹had a dream, and there is no one to interpret it.” Then Joseph said to them, “^bDo not interpretations belong to God? Recount it to me, please.”

9 So the chief cupbearer recounted his dream to Joseph and said to him, “In my dream, ¹behold, there was a vine in front of me; 10 and on the vine were three branches. And as it was budding, its blossoms came out, and its clusters produced ripe grapes. 11 Now 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 ¹hand.” 12 Then Joseph said to him, “This is the ^ainterpretation of it: the three branches are three days; 13 within three more days Pharaoh will ¹lift up your head and restore you to your ²office; and you will put Pharaoh’s cup into his hand according to your former custom when you were his cupbearer. 14 Only remember me when it goes well with you, and please ^ashow me lovingkindness by remembering me to Pharaoh and getting me out of this house. 15 For ^aI was in fact stolen from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing that they should have put me into the pit.”

16 And the chief baker saw that he had interpreted favorably, so he said to Joseph, “I also saw in my dream, and behold, there were three baskets of white bread on my head; 17 and in the top basket there were some of all ¹sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.” 18 Then Joseph answered and said, “This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days; 19 within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head off of you and will hang you on a tree, and the birds will eat your flesh off of you.”

20 Thus it happened on the third day, which was ^aPharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants; ^band he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants. 21 And he restored the chief cupbearer to his ¹office, and ^ahe put the cup into Pharaoh’s ²hand; 22 but ^ahe hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had interpreted to them. 23 Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but ^aforgot him.
