1. And it came to pass after these things, [that] the butler of the king of Egypt and [his] baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.
2. And Pharaoh was wroth with two [of] his officers, with the chief of the butlers, and with the chief of the bakers.
3. And he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph [was] bound.
4. And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them; and they continued a season in custody.
5. And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream; the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who [were] bound in the prison.
6. And Joseph came to them in the morning, and looked upon them, and behold, they [were] sad.
7. And he asked Pharaoh's officers that [were] with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Why look ye [so] sad to-day?
8. And they said to him, We have dreamed a dream, and [there is] no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, [Do] not interpretations [belong] to God? tell me [them], I pray you.
9. And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine [was] before me;
10. And on the vine [were] three branches and it [was] as though it budded, [and] its blossoms shot forth; and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes
11. And Pharaoh's cup [was] in my hand and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
12. And Joseph said to him, This [is] the interpretation of it The three branches [are] three days;
13. Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee to thy place and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
14. But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness to me, I pray thee, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house
15. For indeed I was stolen away from the land of the Hebrews and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
16. When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also [was] in my dream, and behold, [I had] three white baskets on my head
17. And in the uppermost basket [there was] of all manner of bake-meats for Pharaoh; and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.
18. And Joseph answered, and said, This [is] the interpretation of it The three baskets [are] three days
19. Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
20. And it came to pass the third day, [which was] Pharaoh's birth-day, that he made a feast to all his servants and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.
21. And he restored the chief butler to his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand
22. But he hanged the chief baker as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23. Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
