Compare all
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.
