1 N ow some time later the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their lord, Egypt’s king.

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 A nd Pharaoh was angry with his officers, the chief of the butlers and the chief of the bakers.

And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.

3 H e put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison where Joseph was confined.

And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

4 A nd the captain of the guard put them in Joseph’s charge, and he served them; and they continued in custody for some time.

And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.

5 A nd they both dreamed a dream in the same night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream—the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison.

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, which were bound in the prison.

6 W hen Joseph came to them in the morning and looked at them, he saw that they were sad and depressed.

And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad.

7 S o he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were in custody with him in his master’s house, Why do you look so dejected and sad today?

And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?

8 A nd they said to him, We have dreamed dreams, and there is no one to interpret them. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell me, I pray you.

And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.

9 A nd the chief butler told his dream to Joseph and said to him, In my dream I saw a vine before me,

And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;

10 A nd on the vine were three branches. Then it was as though it budded; its blossoms burst forth and the clusters of them brought forth ripe grapes.

And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:

11 A nd Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup; then I gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.

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 A nd Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days.

And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:

13 W ithin three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your position, and you will again put Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, as when you were his butler.

Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.

14 B ut think of me when it shall be well with you and show kindness, I beg of you, to me, and mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this house.

But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:

15 F or truly I was carried away from the land of the Hebrews by unlawful force, and here too I have done nothing for which they should put me into the dungeon.

For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.

16 W hen the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also dreamed, and behold, I had three cake baskets on my head.

When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head:

17 A nd in the uppermost basket were some of all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating out of the basket on my head.

And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.

18 A nd Joseph answered, This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days.

And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:

19 W ithin three days Pharaoh will lift up your head but will have you beheaded and hung on a tree, and the birds will eat your flesh.

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 A nd on the third day, Pharaoh’s birthday, he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the heads of the chief butler and the chief baker among his servants.

And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.

21 A nd he restored the chief butler to his butlership, and the butler gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand;

And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:

22 B ut hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.

23 B ut the chief butler gave no thought to Joseph, but forgot him.

Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
