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. 2 And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his of­fi­cers, against the chief of the but­lers, and against the chief of the bak­ers. 3 And he put them in ward in the house of the cap­tain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound. 4 And the cap­tain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they con­tin­ued a sea­son in ward. 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, which were bound in the prison. 6 And Joseph came in unto them in the morn­ing, and looked upon them, and, be­hold, they were sad. 7 And 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? 8 And 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. 9 And the chief but­ler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, be­hold, a vine was be­fore me; 10 And 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: 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. 12 And Joseph said unto him, This is the in­ter­pre­ta­tion of it: The three branch­es are three days: 13 Yet 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. 14 But 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: 15 For 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. 16 When 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: 17 And 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. 18 And Joseph an­swered and said, This is the in­ter­pre­ta­tion there­of: The three bas­kets are three days: 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. 20 And 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. 21 And he re­stored the chief but­ler unto his but­ler­ship again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand: 22 But he hanged the chief bak­er: as Joseph had in­ter­pret­ed to them. 23 Yet did not the chief but­ler re­mem­ber Joseph, but for­gat him.
