1 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. WBS — Genesis 40:1
2 And Pharaoh was wroth with two of his officers, with the chief of the butlers, and with the chief of the bakers. WBS — Genesis 40:2
3 And he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound. WBS — Genesis 40:3
4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them; and they continued a season in custody. WBS — Genesis 40:4
5 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, who were bound in the prison. WBS — Genesis 40:5
6 And Joseph came to them in the morning, and looked upon them, and behold, they were sad. WBS — Genesis 40:6
7 And he asked Pharaoh’s officers that were with him in the ward of his lord’s house, saying, Why look ye so sad to-day? WBS — Genesis 40:7
8 And they said to him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you. WBS — Genesis 40:8
9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me; WBS — Genesis 40:9
10 And on the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and its blossoms shot forth; and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes: WBS — Genesis 40:10
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. WBS — Genesis 40:11
12 And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days; WBS — Genesis 40:12
13 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee to thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler. WBS — Genesis 40:13
14 But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness to me, I pray thee, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house: WBS — Genesis 40:14
15 For indeed I was stolen away from the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon. WBS — Genesis 40:15
16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also was in my dream, and behold, I had three white baskets on my head: WBS — Genesis 40:16
17 And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bake-meats for Pharaoh; and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head. WBS — Genesis 40:17
18 And Joseph answered, and said, This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days: WBS — Genesis 40:18
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. WBS — Genesis 40:19
20 And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birth-day, that he made a feast to all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants. WBS — Genesis 40:20
21 And he restored the chief butler to his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand: WBS — Genesis 40:21
22 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them. WBS — Genesis 40:22
23 Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him. WBS — Genesis 40:23
