    6 When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were looking depressed.

    7 So he asked Pharaoh’s officials, who were with him in custody in his master’s house,“Why do you look so sad today?”

    8 They told him,“We both had dreams, but there is no one to interpret them.” Joseph responded,“Don’t interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me.”

    9 So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph:“In my dream, there was a vine in front of me.

    12 “This is its meaning,” Joseph said to him.“The three branches represent three days.

    13 In three more days Pharaoh will reinstate you and restore you to your office. You will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand, just as you did before when you were cupbearer.
