Verse 5

And they dreamed{H2492} a dream{H2472} both of them,{H8147} each man{H376} his dream,{H2472} in one{H259} night,{H3915} each man{H376} according to the interpretation{H6623} of his dream,{H2472} the butler{H8248} and the baker{H644} of the king{H4428} of Egypt,{H4714} who were bound{H631} in the prison.{H1004}

Verse 6

Verse 8

And they said{H559} unto him, We have dreamed{H2492} a dream,{H2472} and there is none that can interpret{H6622} it. And Joseph{H3130} said{H559} unto them, Do not interpretations{H6623} belong to God?{H430} tell it me,{H5608} I pray you.

Verse 9

And the chief{H8269} butler{H8248} told{H5608} his dream{H2472} to Joseph,{H3130} and said{H559} to him, In my dream,{H2472} behold, a vine{H1612} was before me;{H6440}

Verse 10

and in the vine{H1612} were three{H7969} branches:{H8299} and it was as though it budded,{H6524} [and] its blossoms{H5322} shot forth;{H5927} [and] the clusters{H811} thereof brought forth ripe{H1310} grapes:{H6025}

Verse 11

and Pharaoh's{H6547} cup{H3563} was in my hand;{H3027} and I took{H3947} the grapes,{H6025} and pressed{H7818} them into Pharaoh's{H6547} cup,{H3563} and I gave{H5414} the cup{H3563} into Pharaoh's{H6547} hand.{H3709}

Verse 12

And Joseph{H3130} said{H559} unto him, This is the interpretation{H6623} of it: the three{H7969} branches{H8299} are three{H7969} days;{H3117}

Verse 13

within yet{H5750} three{H7969} days{H3117} shall Pharaoh{H6547} lift up{H5375} thy head,{H7218} and restore{H7725} thee unto thine office:{H3653} and thou shalt give{H5414} Pharaoh's{H6547} cup{H3563} into his hand,{H3027} after the former{H7223} manner{H4941} when thou wast his butler.{H8248}

Verse 14

But have me in thy remembrance when it shall be well{H3190} with thee, and show{H6213} kindness,{H2617} I pray thee, unto me, and make mention{H2142} of me{H3318} unto Pharaoh,{H6547} and bring me{H3318} out of this house:{H1004}

Verse 15

for indeed I was stolen away{H1589} out of the land{H776} of the Hebrews:{H5680} and here also have I done{H6213} nothing{H3972} that they should put{H7760} me into the dungeon.{H953}

Verse 16

When the chief{H8269} baker{H644} saw{H7200} that the interpretation{H6622} was good,{H2896} he said{H559} unto Joseph,{H3130} I also{H637} was in my dream,{H2472} and, behold, three{H7969} baskets{H5536} of white{H2751} bread were on my head:{H7218}

Verse 17

and in the uppermost{H5945} basket{H5536} there was of all manner{H3978} of baked{H4639} food for Pharaoh;{H6547} and the birds{H5775} did eat{H398} them out of the basket{H5536} upon{H5921} my head.{H7218}

Verse 18

And Joseph{H3130} answered{H6030} and said,{H559} This is the interpretation{H6623} thereof: the three{H7969} baskets{H5536} are three{H7969} days;{H3117}

Verse 19

within yet three{H7969} days{H3117} shall Pharaoh{H6547} lift up{H5375} thy head{H7218} from off thee, and shall hang{H8518} thee on a tree;{H6086} and the birds{H5775} shall eat{H398} thy flesh{H1320} from off thee.

Verse 20

And it came to pass the third{H7992} day,{H3117} which was Pharaoh's{H6547} birthday,{H3117} that he made{H6213} a feast{H4960} unto all his servants:{H5650} and he lifted up{H5375} the head{H7218} of the chief{H8269} butler{H8248} and the head of the chief{H8269} baker{H644} among{H8432} his servants.{H5650}

Verse 21

And he restored{H7725} the chief{H8269} butler{H8248} unto his butlership{H4945} again;{H7725} and he gave{H5414} the cup{H3563} into Pharaoh's{H6547} hand:{H3709}

Verse 22

but he hanged{H8518} the chief{H8269} baker:{H644} as Joseph{H3130} had interpreted{H6622} to them.

Verse 23

Yet did not the chief{H8269} butler{H8248} remember{H2142} Joseph,{H3130} but forgat{H7911} him.
