*
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 .
