It came to pass after these things
that the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their lord, the
king of Egypt.
2 And Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief
butler and the chief baker.
3 So he put them in custody in the house of the captain of
the guard, in the prison, the place where Joseph was confined.
4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them,
and he served them; so they were in custody for a while.
5 Then the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who
were confined in the prison, had a dream, both of them, each man’s dream in one
night and each man’s dream with its own interpretation.
6 And Joseph came in to them in the morning and looked at
them, and saw that they were sad.
7 So he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in the
custody of his lord’s house, saying, “Why do you look so sad today?”
8 And they said to him, “We each have had a dream, and
there is no interpreter of it.” So
Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me please,”
9 Then the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said
to him, “Behold, in my dream a vine was before me,
10 “And in the vine were three branches; it was as though it
budded, its blossoms shot forth, and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes.
11 “Then Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes
and pressed tem into Pharaoh’s cup and placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.”
