Genesis 40

40:1And it came to pass after these things, the chief wine taster of the king of Egypt sinned, and the chief baker against their master the king of Egypt.

40:2And Pharaoh was provoked to anger over his two eunuchs -- over the chief wine taster and over the chief baker.

40:3And he put them under guard in the jail, into the place where Joseph had been taken away there.

40:4And the chief jailer combined them to Joseph, and he stood beside them. And they were some days under guard.

40:5And both saw a dream in one night. And the vision of the dream of the chief wine taster and the chief baker, the ones who were in service to the king of Egypt, the ones being in the jail, was this.

40:6And Joseph entered to them in the morning, and he saw them, and they were disturbed.

40:7And he asked the eunuchs of Pharaoh, who were with him under guard, by his master, saying, Why is it that your faces are looking downcast today?

40:8And they said to him, We saw a dream, and the interpreting it is not. And Joseph said to them, Is not the explanation of them through God? Describe them then to me.

40:9And the chief wine taster described his dream to Joseph. And he said, In my sleep there was a grapevine before me.

40:10And in the grapevine three lower branches; and it flourished offering mature buds -- the clusters of the grape.

40:11And the cup of Pharaoh was in my hand, and I took the grape cluster and squeezed it into the cup, and gave the cup into the hand of Pharaoh.

40:12And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it. The three lower branches are three days.

40:13In yet three days and Pharaoh will remember your office, and restore you to your office of chief wine taster, and you will give the cup to Pharaoh, into his hand according to your former office, as you were of the wine servers.

40:14But remember me of yourself, whenever good happens to you, and you shall do with me an act of mercy. And you shall remind Pharaoh concerning me, and lead me from this fortress.

40:15For by stealth I was stolen from the land of the Hebrews, and here I did not do anything, but they put me into this pit.

40:16And the chief baker saw that rightly he interpreted, and he said to Joseph, I also saw a dream, and I imagined three bins of groats, lifted upon my head.

40:17And in the bin above, items of all kinds of things of which Pharaoh eats -- the work of a baker. And the birds of the heaven ate them from the bin upon my head.

40:18And answering Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it. The three bins are three days.

40:19Yet in three days and Pharaoh will remove your head from you, and hang you upon a timber, and the birds of the heaven will eat the flesh from you.

40:20And it came to pass in the third day, that it was the birth day of Pharaoh, and he made a banquet for all his servants, and he remembered concerning the chief wine taster, and the office of the chief baker in the midst of his servants.

40:21And he restored the chief wine taster to his office, and he gave the cup unto the hand of Pharaoh.

40:22And the chief baker he hung, as Joseph interpreted to them.

40:23And the chief wine taster remembered not Joseph, but forgot him.
