As soon as it budded, it blossomed,b and its clusters ripened into grapes. 11 Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into Pharaoh’s cup and put the cup in his hand.”

12 “This is what it means,c” Joseph said to him. “The three branches are three days.d 13 Within three dayse Pharaoh will lift up your headf and restore you to your position, and you will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand, just as you used to do when you were his cupbearer.g 14 But when all goes well with you, remember meh and show me kindness;i mention me to Pharaohj and get me out of this prison. 15 I was forcibly carried off from the land of the Hebrews,k and even here I have done nothing to deserve being put in a dungeon.”l
