40:1 Some
time
after
this,
the
cupbearer
of
the
king
of
Egypt
and
his
baker
committed
an
offense
against
their
lord
the
king
of
Egypt.
40:2 And
Pharaoh
was
angry
with
his
two
officers,
the
chief
cupbearer
and
the
chief
baker,
40:3 and
he
put
them
in
custody
in
the
house
of
the
captain
of
the
guard,
in
the
prison
where
Joseph
was
confined.
40:4 The
captain
of
the
guard
appointed
Joseph
to
be
with
them,
and
he
attended
them.
They
continued
for
some
time
in
custody.
40:5 And
one
night
they
both
dreamed--the
cupbearer
and
the
baker
of
the
king
of
Egypt,
who
were
confined
in
the
prison--each
his
own
dream,
and
each
dream
with
its
own
interpretation.
40:6 When
Joseph
came
to
them
in
the
morning,
he
saw
that
they
were
troubled.
40:7 So
he
asked
Pharaoh's
officers
who
were
with
him
in
custody
in
his
master's
house,
"Why
are
your
faces
downcast
today"
40:8 They
said
to
him,
"We
have
had
dreams,
and
there
is
no
one
to
interpret
them."
And
Joseph
said
to
them,
"Do
not
interpretations
belong
to
God
Please
tell
them
to
me."
40:9 So
the
chief
cupbearer
told
his
dream
to
Joseph
and
said
to
him,
"In
my
dream
there
was
a
vine
before
me,
40:10 and
on
the
vine
there
were
three
branches.
As
soon
as
it
budded,
its
blossoms
shot
forth,
and
the
clusters
ripened
into
grapes.
40:11 Pharaoh's
cup
was
in
my
hand,
and
I
took
the
grapes
and
pressed
them
into
Pharaoh's
cup
and
placed
the
cup
in
Pharaoh's
hand."
40:12 Then
Joseph
said
to
him,
"This
is
its
interpretation:
the
three
branches
are
three
days.
40:13 In
three
days
Pharaoh
will
lift
up
your
head
and
restore
you
to
your
office,
and
you
shall
place
Pharaoh's
cup
in
his
hand
as
formerly,
when
you
were
his
cupbearer.
40:14 Only
remember
me,
when
it
is
well
with
you,
and
please
do
me
the
kindness
to
mention
me
to
Pharaoh,
and
so
get
me
out
of
this
house.
40:15 For
I
was
indeed
stolen
out
of
the
land
of
the
Hebrews,
and
here
also
I
have
done
nothing
that
they
should
put
me
into
the
pit."
40:16 When
the
chief
baker
saw
that
the
interpretation
was
favorable,
he
said
to
Joseph,
"I
also
had
a
dream:
there
were
three
cake
baskets
on
my
head,
40:17 and
in
the
uppermost
basket
there
were
all
sorts
of
baked
food
for
Pharaoh,
but
the
birds
were
eating
it
out
of
the
basket
on
my
head."
40:18 And
Joseph
answered
and
said,
"This
is
its
interpretation:
the
three
baskets
are
three
days.
40:19 In
three
days
Pharaoh
will
lift
up
your
head--from
you!--and
hang
you
on
a
tree.
And
the
birds
will
eat
the
flesh
from
you."
40:20 On
the
third
day,
which
was
Pharaoh's
birthday,
he
made
a
feast
for
all
his
servants
and
lifted
up
the
head
of
the
chief
cupbearer
and
the
head
of
the
chief
baker
among
his
servants.
40:21 He
restored
the
chief
cupbearer
to
his
position,
and
he
placed
the
cup
in
Pharaoh's
hand.
40:22 But
he
hanged
the
chief
baker,
as
Joseph
had
interpreted
to
them.
40:23 Yet
the
chief
cupbearer
did
not
remember
Joseph,
but
forgot
him.
