Genesis 40:9–23

⁹So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “In my dream, ¹behold, there was a vine in front of me;

¹⁰and on the vine were three branches. And as it was budding, its blossoms came out, and its clusters produced ripe grapes.

¹¹“Now Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; so I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I put the cup into Pharaoh’s ¹hand.”

¹²Then Joseph said to him, “This is the ^ainterpretation of it: the three branches are three days;

¹³within three more days Pharaoh will ¹lift up your head and restore you to your ²office; and you will put Pharaoh’s cup into his hand according to your former custom when you were his cupbearer.

¹⁴“Only ¹keep me in mind when it goes well with you, and please ^ado me a kindness ²by mentioning me to Pharaoh and get me out of this house.

¹⁵“For ^aI was in fact kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing that they should have put me into the ¹dungeon.”

¹⁶When the chief baker saw that he had interpreted favorably, he said to Joseph, “I also saw in my dream, and behold, there were three baskets of white bread on my head;

¹⁷and in the top basket there were some of all ¹sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.”

¹⁸Then Joseph answered and said, “This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days;

¹⁹within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head from you and will hang you on a tree, and the birds will eat your flesh off you.”

²⁰Thus it came about on the third day, which was ^aPharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants; ^band he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

²¹He restored the chief cupbearer to his ¹office, and ^ahe put the cup into Pharaoh’s ²hand;

²²but ^ahe hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had interpreted to them.

²³Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but ^aforgot him.
