The Prisoners’ Dreams

1 It came to pass after these things that the abutler and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt.  
2 And Pharaoh was aangry with his two officers, the chief butler and the chief baker.  
3 aSo 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, ahad 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 were1 sad.  
7 So he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in the custody of his lord’s house, saying, a“Why do you look so sad today?”  
8 And they said to him, a“We each have had a dream, and there is no interpreter of it.” So Joseph said to them, b“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 them into Pharaoh’s cup, and placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.”
12 And Joseph said to him, a“This is the interpretation of it: The three branches bare three days.  
13 Now within three days Pharaoh will alift up your head and restore you to your1 place, and you will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand according to the former manner, when you were his butler.  
14 But aremember me when it is well with you, and bplease show kindness to me; make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house.  
15 For indeed I was astolen away from the land of the Hebrews; band also I have done nothing here that they should put me into the dungeon.”
