Book 01 Genesis Chapter 040

 

040:001And 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.

 

040:002And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the
chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.

 

040:003And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the
guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

 

040:004And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he
served them: and they continued a season in ward.

 

040:005And 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, which
were bound in the prison.

 

040:006And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon
them, and, behold, they were sad.

 

040:007And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward
of his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to
day?

 

040:008And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is
no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not
interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.

 

040:009And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to
him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;

 

040:010And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it
budded, and her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof
brought forth ripe grapes:

 

040:011And 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.

 

040:012And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it:
The three branches are three days:

 

040:013Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and
restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's
cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his
butler.

 

040:014But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew
kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto
Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:

 

040:015For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews:
and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into
the dungeon.

 

040:016When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he
said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had
three white baskets on my head:

 

040:017And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of
bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the
basket upon my head.

 

040:018And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation
thereof: The three baskets are three days:

 

040:019Yet 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.

 

040:020And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's
birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he
lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker
among his servants.

 

040:021And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again;
and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:

 

040:022But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to
them.

 

040:023Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
