Genesis:40:11-21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
And Joseph said unto him ,
This is the interpretation of it :
The three branches are three days :
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
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 .
*
And Joseph answered and said ,
This is the interpretation thereof :
The three baskets are three days :
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again ;
and he gave the cup into Pharaoh '
s hand :
