drb@Genesis:40:1 @After this, it came to pass, that two eunuchs, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, offended their lord.

drb@Genesis:40:2 @And Pharao being angry with them (now the one was chief butler, the other chief baker)

drb@Genesis:40:3 @He sent them to the prison of the commander of the soldiers, in which Joseph also was prisoner,

drb@Genesis:40:4 @But the keeper of the prison delivered them to Joseph, and he served them. Some little time passed, and they were kept in custody.

drb@Genesis:40:5 @And they both dreamed a dream the same night, according to the interpretation agreeing to themselves:

drb@Genesis:40:6 @And when Joseph was come in to them in the morning, and saw them sad,

drb@Genesis:40:7 @He asked them, saying: Why is your oountenance sadder to day than usual?

drb@Genesis:40:8 @They answered: We have dreamed a dream, and there is nobody to interpret it to us. And Joseph said to them: Both not interpretation belong to God? Tell me what you have dreamed. g The chief butler first told his dream: I saw before me a vine,

drb@Genesis:40:9 @On which were three branches, which by little and little sent out buds, and after the blossoms brought forth ripe grapes:

drb@Genesis:40:10 @And the cup of Pharao was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into the cup which I held, and I gave the cup to Pharao.

drb@Genesis:40:11 @Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three branches are yet three days:

drb@Genesis:40:12 @After which Pharao will remember thy service, and will restore thee to thy former place: and thou shah present him the cup according to thy office, as before thou wast wont to do.

drb@Genesis:40:13 @Only remember me, when it shall be well with thee, and do me this kindness: to put Pharao in mind to take me out of this prison:

drb@Genesis:40:14 @For I was stolen away out of the land I of the Hebrews, and here without any fault was cast into the dungeon.

drb@Genesis:40:15 @The chief baker seeing that he had wisely interpreted the dream, said: I also dreamed a dream, That I bed three baskets of meal upon my heed:

drb@Genesis:40:16 @And that in one basket which was uppermost, I carried all meats that are made by the art of baking, and that the birds ate out of it.

drb@Genesis:40:17 @Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three baskets are yet three days:

drb@Genesis:40:18 @After which Pharao will take thy hand from thee, and hang thee on a cross, and the birds shall tear thy flesh.

drb@Genesis:40:19 @The third day after this was the birthday of Pharao: and he made a. great feast for his servants, and at the banquet remembered the chief butler, and the chief baker.

drb@Genesis:40:20 @And he restored the one to his place to present him the cup:

drb@Genesis:40:21 @The other he hanged on a gibbet, that the truth of the interpreter might be shewn.

drb@Genesis:40:22 @But the chief butler, when things prospered with him, forgot his interpreter.
