Genesis 40:1-14 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

1. And it came to pass after these things, that the cup-bearer of the king of Egypt and the baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.

2. And Pharaoh was wroth with his two chamberlains--with the chief of the cup-bearers and with the chief of the bakers;

3. and he put them in custody into the house of the captain of the life-guard, into the tower-house, into the place where Joseph was imprisoned.

4. And the captain of the life-guard appointed Joseph to them, that he should attend on them. And they were several days in custody.

5. And they dreamed a dream, both of them in one night, each his dream, each according to the interpretation of his dream, the cup-bearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were imprisoned in the tower-house.

6. And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and looked on them, and behold, they were sad.

7. And he asked Pharaoh's chamberlains that were with him in custody in his lord's house, saying, Why are your faces so sad to-day?

8. And they said to him, We have dreamt a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God tell me your dreams, I pray you.

9. Then the chief of the cup-bearers told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;

10. and in the vine were three branches; and it was as though it budded: its blossoms shot forth, its clusters ripened into grapes.

11. And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.

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

13. In yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head and restore thee to thy place, and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his cup-bearer.

14. Only bear a remembrance with thee of me when it goes well with thee, and deal kindly, I pray thee, with me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house;
