1
And it came to pass after[H310] these things[H1697], that the butler[H8248] of the king[H4428] of Egypt[H4714] and his baker[H644] had offended[H2398] their lord[H113] the king[H4428] of Egypt[H4714].
2
And Pharaoh[H6547] was wroth[H7107]against[H5921]two[H8147] of his officers[H5631], against[H5921] the chief[H8269] of the butlers[H8248], and against[H5921] the chief[H8269] of the bakers[H644].
3
And he put[H5414] them in ward[H4929] in the house[H1004] of the captain[H8269] of the guard[H2876], into the prison[H1004], the place[H4725] where Joseph[H3130] was bound[H631].
4
And the captain[H8269] of the guard[H2876]charged[H6485]Joseph[H3130] with them, and he served[H8334] them: and they continued a season[H3117] in ward[H4929].
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], which were bound[H631] in the prison[H1004].
6
And Joseph[H3130] came in[H935] unto them in[H935] the morning[H1242], and looked[H7200] upon them, and, behold, they were sad[H2196].
7
And he asked[H7592] Pharaoh's officers[H5631] that were with him in the ward[H4929] of his lord's house[H1004], saying[H559], Wherefore look[H6440] ye so sadly[H7451] to day?[H3117]
8
And they said[H559] unto him, We have dreamed[H2492] a dream[H2472], and there is no interpreter[H6622] of it. And Joseph[H3130]said[H559] unto them, Do not interpretations[H6623] belong to God?[H430] tell me[H5608] them, I pray you.
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];
10
And in the vine[H1612] were three[H7969]branches[H8299]: and it was as though it budded[H6524], and her blossoms[H5322] shot forth[H5927]; and the clusters[H811] thereof brought forth[H5927]ripe[H1310]grapes[H6025]:
11
And Pharaoh's cup[H3563] was in my hand[H3027]: and I took[H3947] the grapes[H6025], and pressed[H7818] them into Pharaoh's cup[H3563], and I gave[H5414] the cup[H3563] into Pharaoh's hand[H3709].
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]:
13Yet[H5750] within three[H7969]days[H3117] shall Pharaoh[H6547] lift up[H5375] thine head[H7218], and restore[H7725] thee unto thy place[H3653]: and thou shalt deliver[H5414]Pharaoh[H6547]'s cup[H3563] into his hand[H3027], after the former[H7223]manner[H4941] when thou wast his butler[H8248].
14
But think[H2142] on me[H3318] when it shall be well[H3190] with thee, and shew[H6213]kindness[H2617], I pray thee, unto me[H3318], and make mention[H2142] of me[H3318] unto Pharaoh[H6547], and bring me[H3318] out of this house[H1004]:
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].
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, I had three[H7969]white[H2751]baskets[H5536] on my head[H7218]:
17
And in the uppermost[H5945]basket[H5536] there was of all manner[H3978] of bakemeats[H4639] for Pharaoh[H6547]; and the birds[H5775] did eat[H398] them out of the basket[H5536]upon[H5921] my head[H7218].
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]:
19
Yet within 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.
20
And it came to pass the third[H7992]day[H3117], which was Pharaoh's 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 of the chief[H8269]baker[H644]among[H8432] his servants[H5650].
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 hand[H3709]:
22
But he hanged[H8518] the chief[H8269]baker[H644]: as Joseph[H3130] had interpreted[H6622] to them.
23
Yet did not the chief[H8269]butler[H8248]remember[H2142]Joseph[H3130], but forgat[H7911] him.
