* And after these things it happened that the cupbearer of the king of Egypt , and his baker , had offended their lord the king of Egypt . * And Pharaoh was angry against two of his eunuchs , against the chief of the cupbearers and against the chief of the bakers . * And he put them under guard in the house of the chief of the executioners , into the prison , the place where Joseph [was ] bound . * And the chief of the executioners charged Joseph with them , and he served them . And they continued for a time under guard . * 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 cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt , who [were ] bound in the prison . * And Joseph came in to them in the morning , and looked upon them , and behold , they [were ] sad . * And he asked Pharaoh 's eunuchs who [were ] with him under guard in his lord 's house , saying , Why are your faces sad today ? * And they said to him , We have dreamed a dream , and [there is ] no interpreter of it . And Joseph said to them , Do not interpretations [belong ] to God ? Now tell it to me . * And the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph , and said to him , In my dream , behold , a vine [was ] before me . * And in the vine [were ] three branches . And it was as if it budded , and its blossom shot up . And the clusters of it brought forth ripe grapes . * 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 to him , This [is ] the interpretation of it . The three branches are three days . * Yet within three days Pharaoh shall lift up your head and restore you to your place . And you shall deliver Pharaoh 's cup into his hand , just as you did when you were his cupbearer . * But remember me when it is well with you , and please show kindness to me , and make mention of me to 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 the interpretation was good , he said to Joseph , I also [saw ] in my dream , and three baskets of white bread [were ] on my head . * And in the top basket [were ] all kinds of baked foods for Pharaoh . And the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head . * And Joseph answered and said , This [is ] the interpretation of it . The three baskets are three days . * Yet within three days Pharaoh shall lift up your head from off you , and shall hang you on a tree . And the birds shall eat your flesh from off you . * And it happened on the third day , Pharaoh 's birthday , that he made a feast to all his servants . And he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer , and of the chief baker , among his servants . * And he restored the chief cupbearer back into his cupbearer office again . And he gave the cup into Pharaoh 's hand . * But he hanged the chief baker , even as Joseph had interpreted to them . * Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph , but forgot him .
