1 After these things, the cupbearer of the king of Egypt and the baker offended their master, the king of Egypt. 2 Pharaoh was angry with his two officials, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker. 3 He put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison where Joseph was confined. 4 The captain of the guard assigned Joseph to them, and he served them. They remained in custody for some time. 5 Both of them, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt who were confined in the prison, had a dream on the same night, each his own dream, each with its own interpretation. 6 Joseph came to them in the morning and saw that they were dejected. 7 He asked Pharaoh’s officials who were with him in custody in his master’s house, “Why do you look so sad today?” 8 They said to him, “We have had a dream, and there is no one to interpret it.” Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell me your dreams.” 9 The chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream and said to him, “In my dream there was a vine before me. 10 On the vine were three branches. As it budded, its blossoms came out, and its clusters of grapes ripened. 11 Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand. I took the grapes, squeezed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and put the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.” 12 Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: The three branches are three days. 13 In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your position. You will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand as you did before, when you were his cupbearer. 14 But remember me when things go well with you. Please show me kindness: mention me to Pharaoh and bring me out of this house. 15 For I was indeed kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and here too I have done nothing for which they should put me in this dungeon.” 16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, “I too had a dream. There were three baskets of white bread on my head. 17 In the top basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, and the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.” 18 Joseph answered, “This is its interpretation: The three baskets are three days. 19 In three days Pharaoh will lift your head off you and hang you on a tree, and the birds will eat the flesh off you.” 20 On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he made a feast for all his servants. He lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants. 21 He restored the chief cupbearer to his position as cupbearer, and the cupbearer put the cup in Pharaoh’s hand. 22 But he hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had interpreted to them. 23 Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
