And it came to pass after these things, the cup-bearer of the king of Egypt, and the baker, offended their lord the king of Egypt.
And Pharaoh was wroth with his two chamberlains, with the chief of the cup-bearers and with the chief of the bakers;
and he put them in custody, in the captain of the life-guard’s house, into the tower-house, the place where Joseph [was] imprisoned.
And the captain of the life-guard appointed Joseph to them, and he served them; and they continued for days in custody.
And they dreamed a dream, both of them in one night, each his dream, each according to his dream’s interpretation, the cup-bearer and the baker of the king of Egypt that [were] imprisoned in the tower-house.
And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and looked on them, and, behold, they [were] sad.
And he asked Pharaoh’s chamberlains that [were] with him in his lord’s house of custody, saying, Why [are] your faces sad today?
And they said to him, We have dreamt a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me your dreams, I pray you.
And the chief of the cup-bearers told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine [was] before me;
and in the vine [were] three branches; and it [was] as though it budded, its blossoms shot forth, its clusters ripened into grapes.
And Pharaoh’s cup [was] in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.
And Joseph said to him, This [is] the interpretation of it: the three branches [are] three days.
Within yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee to thy place; and thou shalt give Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his cup-bearer.
Only have me in thy remembrance when it shall be well with thee, and deal kindly with me, I pray thee, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.
For indeed I was stolen out of the land of the Hebrews; and here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
And when the chief of the bakers saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also [was] in my dream, and, behold, three baskets of white bread [were] on my head.
And in the uppermost basket [there was] all manner of victuals for Pharaoh that the bakers make, and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.
And Joseph answered and said, This [is] the interpretation of it: the three baskets [are] three days.
In yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hang thee upon a tree; and the birds will eat thy flesh from off thee.
And it came to pass the third day, Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast to all his bondmen. And he lifted up the head of the chief of the cup-bearers, and the head of the chief of the bakers among his bondmen.
And he restored the chief of the cup-bearers to his office of cup-bearer again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.
And he hanged the chief of the bakers, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
Yet the chief of the cup-bearers did not remember Joseph but forgot him.
