01_GEN_40_01 And it came to pass after these things, [that] the butler of the king of Egypt and [his] baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.
01_GEN_40_02 And Pharaoh was wroth against two [of] his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
01_GEN_40_03 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph [was] bound.
01_GEN_40_04 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.
01_GEN_40_05 And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which [were] bound in the prison.
01_GEN_40_06 And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they [were] sad.
01_GEN_40_07 And he asked Pharaoh's officers that [were] with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look ye [so] sadly to day?
01_GEN_40_08 And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and [there is] no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, [Do] not interpretations [belong] to God? tell me [them], I pray you.
01_GEN_40_09 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine [was] before me;
01_GEN_40_10 And in the vine [were] three branches: and it [was] as though it budded, [and] her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:
01_GEN_40_11 And 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.
01_GEN_40_12 And Joseph said unto him, This [is] the interpretation of it: The three branches [are] three days:
01_GEN_40_13 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
01_GEN_40_14 But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
01_GEN_40_15 For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
01_GEN_40_16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also [was] in my dream, and, behold, [I had] three white baskets on my head:
01_GEN_40_17 And in the uppermost basket [there was] of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.
01_GEN_40_18 And Joseph answered and said, This [is] the interpretation thereof: The three baskets [are] three days:
01_GEN_40_19 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
01_GEN_40_20 And it came to pass the third day, [which was] Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.
01_GEN_40_21 And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
01_GEN_40_22 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
01_GEN_40_23 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
