Verse 1

And it came to pass after{H310} these things{H1697}, that the butler{H8248}{(H8688)} of the king{H4428} of Egypt{H4714} and his baker{H644}{(H8802)} had offended{H2398}{(H8804)} their lord{H113} the king{H4428} of Egypt{H4714}.

Verse 2

And Pharaoh{H6547} was wroth{H7107}{(H8799)} against{H5921} two{H8147} of his officers{H5631}, against the chief{H8269} of the butlers{H8248}{(H8688)}, and against the chief{H8269} of the bakers{H644}{(H8802)}.

And he put{H5414}{(H8799)} them in ward{H4929} in the house{H1004} of the captain{H8269} of the guard{H2876}, into the prison{H1004}{H5470}, the place{H4725} where Joseph{H3130} was bound{H631}{(H8803)}.

Verse 4

And the captain{H8269} of the guard{H2876} charged{H6485}{(H8799)} Joseph{H3130} with them, and he served{H8334}{(H8762)} them: and they continued a season{H3117} in ward{H4929}.

Verse 5

And they dreamed{H2492}{(H8799)} 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}{(H8688)} and the baker{H644}{(H8802)} of the king{H4428} of Egypt{H4714}, which were bound{H631}{(H8803)} in the prison{H1004}{H5470}.

Verse 6

And Joseph{H3130} came in{H935}{(H8799)} unto them in the morning{H1242}, and looked{H7200}{(H8799)} upon them, and, behold, they were sad{H2196}{(H8802)}.

Verse 7

And he asked{H7592}{(H8799)} Pharaoh's{H6547} officers{H5631} that were with him in the ward{H4929} of his lord's{H113} house{H1004}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Wherefore look{H6440} ye so sadly{H7451} to day{H3117}?

Verse 8

And they said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, We have dreamed{H2492}{(H8804)} a dream{H2472}, and there is no interpreter{H6622}{(H8802)} of it. And Joseph{H3130} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto them, Do not interpretations{H6623} belong to God{H430}? tell me{H5608}{(H8761)} them, I pray you.

Verse 9

And the chief{H8269} butler{H8248}{(H8688)} told{H5608}{(H8762)} his dream{H2472} to Joseph{H3130}, and said{H559}{(H8799)} 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}{(H8802)}, and her blossoms{H5322} shot forth{H5927}{(H8804)}; and the clusters{H811} thereof brought forth ripe{H1310}{(H8689)} grapes{H6025}:

Verse 11

And Pharaoh's{H6547} cup{H3563} was in my hand{H3027}: and I took{H3947}{(H8799)} the grapes{H6025}, and pressed{H7818}{(H8799)} them into Pharaoh's{H6547} cup{H3563}, and I gave{H5414}{(H8799)} the cup{H3563} into Pharaoh's{H6547} hand{H3709}.

Verse 12

And Joseph{H3130} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, This is the interpretation{H6623} of it: The three{H7969} branches{H8299} are three{H7969} days{H3117}:

Verse 13

Yet{H5750} within three{H7969} days{H3117} shall Pharaoh{H6547} lift up{H5375}{(H8799)} thine head{H7218}, and restore{H7725}{(H8689)} thee unto thy place{H3653}: and thou shalt deliver{H5414}{(H8804)} Pharaoh's{H6547} cup{H3563} into his hand{H3027}, after the former{H7223} manner{H4941} when thou wast his butler{H8248}{(H8688)}.

Verse 14

But think{H2142}{(H8804)} on me when it shall be well{H3190}{(H8799)} with thee, and shew{H6213}{(H8804)} kindness{H2617}, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention{H2142}{(H8689)} of me unto Pharaoh{H6547}, and bring me{H3318}{(H8689)} out of this house{H1004}:

Verse 15

For indeed I was stolen away{H1589}{(H8795)} out of the land{H776} of the Hebrews{H5680}: and here also have I done{H6213}{(H8804)} nothing{H3972} that they should put{H7760}{(H8804)} me into the dungeon{H953}.

Verse 16

When the chief{H8269} baker{H644}{(H8802)} saw{H7200}{(H8799)} that the interpretation{H6622}{(H8804)} was good{H2896}, he said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Joseph{H3130}, I also{H637} was in my dream{H2472}, and, behold, I had three{H7969} white{H2751} baskets{H5536} on my head{H7218}:

Verse 17

And in the uppermost{H5945} basket{H5536} there was of all manner{H3978} of bakemeats{H4639}{H644}{(H8802)} for Pharaoh{H6547}; and the birds{H5775} did eat{H398}{(H8802)} them out of the basket{H5536} upon{H5921} my head{H7218}.

Verse 18

And Joseph{H3130} answered{H6030}{(H8799)} and said{H559}{(H8799)}, This is the interpretation{H6623} thereof: The three{H7969} baskets{H5536} are three{H7969} days{H3117}:

Verse 19

Yet within three{H7969} days{H3117} shall Pharaoh{H6547} lift up{H5375}{(H8799)} thy head{H7218} from off thee, and shall hang{H8518}{(H8804)} thee on a tree{H6086}; and the birds{H5775} shall eat{H398}{(H8804)} 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}{H3205}{(H8715)}, that he made{H6213}{(H8799)} a feast{H4960} unto all his servants{H5650}: and he lifted up{H5375}{(H8799)} the head{H7218} of the chief{H8269} butler{H8248}{(H8688)} and of the chief{H8269} baker{H644}{(H8802)} among{H8432} his servants{H5650}.

Verse 21

And he restored{H7725} the chief{H8269} butler{H8248}{(H8688)} unto his butlership{H4945} again{H7725}{(H8686)}; and he gave{H5414}{(H8799)} the cup{H3563} into Pharaoh's{H6547} hand{H3709}:

Verse 22

But he hanged{H8518}{(H8804)} the chief{H8269} baker{H644}{(H8802)}: as Joseph{H3130} had interpreted{H6622}{(H8804)} to them.

Verse 23

Yet did not the chief{H8269} butler{H8248}{(H8688)} remember{H2142}{(H8804)} Joseph{H3130}, but forgat{H7911}{(H8799)} him.
