Genesis 40 — DRA
40Verse 1After this, it came to pass, that two eunuchs, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, offended their lord.Verse 2And Pharao being angry with them (now the one was chief butler, the other chief baker)Verse 3He sent them to the prison of the commander of the soldiers, in which Joseph also was prisoner,Verse 4But the keeper of the prison delivered them to Joseph, and he served them. Some little time passed, and they were kept in custody.Verse 5And they both dreamed a dream the same night, according to the interpretation agreeing to themselves:Verse 6And when Joseph was come in to them in the morning, and saw them sad,Verse 7He asked them, saying: Why is your countenance sadder today than usual?Verse 8They answered: We have dreamed a dream, and there is nobody to interpret it to us. And Joseph said to them: Doth not interpretation belong to God? Tell me what you have dreamed.Verse 9The chief butler first told his dream: I saw before me a vine,Verse 10On which were three branches, which by little and little sent out buds, and after the blossoms brought forth ripe grapes:Verse 11And the cup of Pharao was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into the cup which I held, and I gave the cup to Pharao.Verse 12Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three branches are yet three days:Verse 13After which Pharao will remember thy service, and will restore thee to thy former place: and thou shalt present him the cup according to thy office, as before thou wast wont to do.Verse 14Only remember me, when it shall be well with thee, and do me this kindness: to put Pharao in mind to take me out of this prison:Verse 15For I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here without any fault was cast into the dungeon.Verse 16The chief baker seeing that he had wisely interpreted the dream, said: I also dreamed a dream, That I had three baskets of meal upon my head:Verse 17And that in one basket which was uppermost, I carried all meats that are made by the art of baking, and that the birds ate out of it.Verse 18Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three baskets are yet three days:Verse 19After which Pharao will take thy head from thee, and hang thee on a cross, and the birds shall tear thy flesh.Verse 20The third day after this was the birthday of Pharao: and he made a great feast for his servants, and at the banquet remembered the chief butler, and the chief baker.Verse 21And he restored the one to his place to present him the cup:Verse 22The other he hanged on a gibbet, that the truth of the interpreter might be shewn.Verse 23But the chief butler, when things prospered with him, forgot his interpreter.
