Gen.|40:1|-|And after these things, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt.
Gen.|40:2|-|And Pharaoh was angry with his two officials, the chief of the cupbearers and the chief of the bakers.
Gen.|40:3|-|And he put them in custody at the house of the |a|captain of the guard, in the prison, the place where Joseph was |b|confined.
Gen.|40:4|-|And the captain of the guard put Joseph in charge of them, and he ministered to them; and they were in custody for some time.
Gen.|40:5|-|And the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, both of them had a dream, each man with his own dream in one night, and each dream with its own interpretation.
Gen.|40:6|-|And Joseph came to them in the morning and looked at them, and they were troubled.
Gen.|40:7|-|And he asked Pharaoh’s officials, who were with him in custody in his master’s house, saying, Why are your faces so sad today?
Gen.|40:8|-|And they said to him, We have had a |a|dream, and there is no one to interpret it. And Joseph said to them, |1|Do not interpretations belong to |b|God? Please tell it to me.
Gen.|40:9|-|And the chief of the cupbearers told his dream to Joseph and said to him, In my dream there was a vine before me,
Gen.|40:10|-|And on the vine were three branches. And as soon as it budded, its blossoms came out, and its clusters ripened into grapes.
Gen.|40:11|-|And Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I put the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.
Gen.|40:12|-|And Joseph said to him, This is its |a|interpretation: The three branches are three days.
Gen.|40:13|-|Within three more days Pharaoh will |a|lift up your head and restore you to your office, and you will put Pharaoh’s cup into his hand according to your former custom when you were his cupbearer.
Gen.|40:14|-|But remember my being with you when it is well with you, and please do me a kindness and make mention of me to Pharaoh and so have me brought out of this house.
Gen.|40:15|-|For I was actually |a|kidnapped out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have not done anything that they should put me into the |b|dungeon.
Gen.|40:16|-|Now when the chief of the bakers saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also saw this in my dream: There were three baskets of white bread on my head.
Gen.|40:17|-|And in the uppermost basket there were all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.
Gen.|40:18|-|And Joseph answered and said, This is its |a|interpretation: The three baskets are |b|three days.
Gen.|40:19|-|Within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head from you and will |a|hang you on a tree, and the birds will eat your flesh from you.
Gen.|40:20|-|And on the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he made a feast for all his servants; and he |a|lifted up the head of the chief of the cupbearers and the head of the chief of the bakers among his servants.
Gen.|40:21|-|And he |a|restored the chief of the cupbearers to his cupbearing, and he put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand;
Gen.|40:22|-|But the chief of the bakers he |a|hanged, just as Joseph had interpreted to them.
Gen.|40:23|-|Yet the chief of the cupbearers did not |a|remember Joseph, but forgot him.
