* 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 . * And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers , against the chief of the butlers , and against the chief of the bakers . * And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard , into the prison bayith #, the place where Joseph was bound . * And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them , and he served them : and they continued a season in ward . * 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 bayith #. * And Joseph came in unto them in the morning , and looked upon them , and , behold , they were sad . * And he asked Pharaohs officers that were with him in the ward of his lords house , saying , Wherefore look ye so sadly to day ? * 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 . * And the chief butler 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 though it budded , and her blossoms shot forth ; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes : * And Pharaohs cup was in my hand : and I took the grapes , and pressed them into Pharaohs cup , and I gave the cup into Pharaohs 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 ro #sh #, and restore thee unto thy place : and thou shalt deliver Pharaohs 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 Par #oh #, 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 ro #sh #: * And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats #H644for Pharaoh Par #oh #; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head ro #sh #. * 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 Pharaohs birthday yowm #, 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 Pharaohs hand : * But he hanged the chief baker : as Joseph had interpreted to them . * Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph , but forgat him .
