1  And it came to pass after these things, that the cup-bearer of the king of Egypt and the baker offended their lord the king of Egypt. 2  And Pharaoh was wroth with his two chamberlains—with the chief of the cup-bearers and with the chief of the bakers; 3  and he put them in custody into the house of the captain of the life-guard, into the tower-house, into the place where Joseph was imprisoned. 4  And the captain of the life-guard appointed Joseph to them, that he should attend on them. And they were several days in custody.

5  And they dreamed a dream, both of them in one night, each his dream, each according to the interpretation of his dream, the cup-bearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were imprisoned in the tower-house. 6  And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and looked on them, and behold, they were sad. 7  And he asked Pharaoh’s chamberlains that were with him in custody in his lord’s house, saying, Why are your faces so sad to-day? 8  And they said to him, We have dreamt a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me your dreams, I pray you.
