Genesis 40:9–22

⁹The chief butler first told his dream: I saw before me a vine,

¹⁰On which were three branches, which by little and little sent out buds, and after the blossoms brought forth ripe grapes:

¹¹And the cup of Pharao was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into the cup which I held, and I gave the cup to Pharao.

¹²Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three branches, are yet three days:

¹³After which Pharao will remember thy service, and will restore thee to thy former place: and thou shalt present him the cup according to thy office, as before thou was wont to do.

¹⁴Only remember me when it shall be well with thee, and do me this kindness: to put Pharao in mind to take me out of this prison:

¹⁵For I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here without any fault was cast into the dungeon.

¹⁶The chief baker seeing that he had wisely interpreted the dream, said: I also dreamed a dream, That I had three baskets of meal upon my head:

¹⁷And that in one basket which was uppermost, I carried all meats that are made by the art of baking, and that the birds ate out of it.

¹⁸Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three baskets, are yet three days:

¹⁹After which Pharao will take thy head from thee, and hang thee on a cross, and the birds shall tear thy flesh.

²⁰The third day after this was the birthday of Pharao: and he made a great feast for his servants, and at the banquet remembered the chief butler, and the chief baker.

²¹And he restored the one to his place, to present him the cup:

²²The other he hanged on a gibbet, that the truth of the interpreter might be shewn.
