¹After these things , the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt .

²Pharaoh was angry with his two officers , the chief cup bearer and the chief baker.

³He put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard , into the prison , the place where Joseph was bound.

⁴The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph , and he took care of them . They stayed in prison many days .

⁵They both dreamt a dream , each man his dream , in one night , each man according to the interpretation of his dream , the cup bearer and the baker of the king of Egypt , who were bound in the prison .

⁶Joseph came in to them in the morning , and saw them , and saw that they were sad .

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

⁸They said to him , “We have dreamt a dream , and there is no one who can interpret it .”

Joseph said to them , “Don’t interpretations belong to God ? Please tell it to me .”

⁹The chief cup bearer told his dream to Joseph , and said to him , “In my dream , behold , a vine was in front of me ,

¹⁰and in the vine were three branches . It was as though it budded , it blossomed , and its clusters produced ripe grapes .

¹¹Pharaoh ’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 .”

¹²Joseph said to him , “This is its interpretation : the three branches are three days .

¹³Within three more days , Pharaoh will lift up your head , and restore you to your office . You will give Pharaoh ’s cup into his hand , the way you did when you were his cup bearer .

¹⁴But remember me when it is well with you . Please show kindness to me , and make mention of me to Pharaoh , and bring me out of this house .

¹⁵For indeed , I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews , and here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.”

¹⁶When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good , he said to Joseph , “I also was in my dream , and behold , three baskets of white bread were on my head .

¹⁷In the uppermost basket there were all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh , and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head .”

¹⁸Joseph answered , “This is its interpretation . The three baskets are three days .

¹⁹Within three more days , Pharaoh will lift up your head from off you , and will hang you on a tree ; and the birds will eat your flesh from off you .”

²⁰On the third day , which was Pharaoh ’s birthday , he made a feast for all his servants , and he lifted up the head of the chief cup bearer and the head of the chief baker amongst his servants .

²¹He restored the chief cup bearer to his position again , and he gave the cup into Pharaoh ’s hand ;

²²but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them .

²³Yet the chief cup bearer didn’t remember Joseph , but forgot him .
