Genesis 40
40:1

And it came to pass after310 these things,1697 that the butler8248 of the king4428 of Egypt4714 and his baker644 had offended2398 their sovereign113 the king4428 of Egypt.4714

40:2

And Pharaoh6547 was wroth7107 against5921 two8147 of his officers,5631 against the chief8269 of the butlers,8248 and against the chief8269 of the bakers.644

40:3

And he put5414 them in ward4929 in the house1004 of the captain8269 of the guard,2876 into the prison,1004 the place4725 where Joseph3130 was bound.631

40:4

And the captain8269 of the guard2876 charged6485 Joseph3130 with them, and he served8334 them: and they continued a season3117 in ward.4929

40:5

And they dreamed2492 a dream2472 both8147 of them, each man376 his dream2472 in one259 night,3915 each man376 according to the interpretation6623 of his dream,2472 the butler8248 and the baker644 of the king4428 of Egypt,4714 which were bound631 in the prison.1004

40:6

And Joseph3130 came in935 unto them in the morning,1242 and looked7200 upon them, and, behold, they were sad.2196

40:7

And he asked7592 Pharaoh's6547 officers5631 that were with him in the ward4929 of his sovereign's113 house,1004 saying,559 Wherefore look ye6440 so sadly7451 to day?3117

40:8

And they said559 unto him, We have dreamed2492 a dream,2472 and there is no interpreter6622 of it. And Joseph3130 said559 unto them, Do not interpretations6623 belong to Elohim?430 tell5608 me them, I pray you.

40:9

And the chief8269 butler8248 told5608 his dream2472 to Joseph,3130 and said559 to him, In my dream,2472 behold, a vine1612 was before6440 me;

40:10

And in the vine1612 were three7969 branches:8299 and it was as though it budded,6524 and her blossoms5322 shot forth;5927 and the clusters811 thereof brought forth ripe1310 grapes:6025

40:11

And Pharaoh's6547 cup3563 was in my hand:3027 and I took3947 the grapes,6025 and pressed7818 them into Pharaoh's6547 cup,3563 and I gave5414 the cup3563 into Pharaoh's6547 hand.3709

40:12

And Joseph3130 said559 unto him, This is the interpretation6623 of it: The three7969 branches8299 are three7969 days:3117

40:13

Yet5750 within three7969 days3117 shall Pharaoh6547 lift up5375 thine head,7218 and restore7725 thee unto thy place:3653 and thou shalt deliver5414 Pharaoh's6547 cup3563 into his hand,3027 after the former7223 manner4941 when thou wast his butler.8248

40:14

But think2142 on me when it shall be well3190 with thee, and shew6213 kindness,2617 I pray thee, unto me, and make mention2142 of me unto Pharaoh,6547 and bring me out3318 of this house:1004

40:15

For indeed1589 I was stolen away1589 out of the land776 of the Hebrews:5680 and here also have I done6213 nothing3808 that they should put7760 me into the dungeon.953

40:16

When the chief8269 baker644 saw7200 that the interpretation6622 was good,2896 he said559 unto Joseph,3130 I also637 was in my dream,2472 and, behold, I had three7969 white2751 baskets5536 on my head:7218

40:17

And in the uppermost5945 basket5536 there was of all manner of bakemeats3978 for Pharaoh;6547 and the birds5775 did eat398 them out of the basket5536 upon5921 my head.7218

40:18

And Joseph3130 answered6030 and said,559 This is the interpretation6623 thereof: The three7969 baskets5536 are three7969 days:3117

40:19

Yet within three7969 days3117 shall Pharaoh6547 lift up5375 thy head7218 from off thee, and shall hang8518 thee on a tree;6086 and the birds5775 shall eat398 thy flesh1320 from off thee.

40:20

And it came to pass the third7992 day,3117 which was Pharaoh's6547 birthday,3117 that he made6213 a feast4960 unto all his servants:5650 and he lifted up5375 the head7218 of the chief8269 butler8248 and of7218 the chief8269 baker644 among8432 his servants.5650

40:21

And he restored7725 the chief8269 butler8248 unto his butlership4945 again; and he gave5414 the cup3563 into Pharaoh's6547 hand:3709

40:22

But he hanged8518 the chief8269 baker:644 as Joseph3130 had interpreted6622 to them.

40:23

Yet did not the chief8269 butler8248 remember2142 Joseph,3130 but forgat7911 him.
