Genesis 40:9-17 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

9. So the wine server told Joseph his dream. The server said, “I dreamed I saw a vine.

10. On the vine there were three branches. I watched the branches grow flowers and then become grapes.

11. I was holding Pharaoh’s cup, so I took the grapes and squeezed the juice into the cup. Then I gave the cup to Pharaoh.”

12. Then Joseph said, “I will explain the dream to you. The three branches mean three days.

13. Before the end of three days, Pharaoh will forgive you and allow you to go back to your work. You will do the same work for Pharaoh as you did before.

14. But when you are free, remember me. Be good to me and help me. Tell Pharaoh about me so that I can get out of this prison.

15. I was kidnapped and taken from the land of my people, the Hebrews. I have done nothing wrong! I should not be in prison.”

16. The baker saw that the other servant’s dream was good, so he said to Joseph, “I also had a dream. I dreamed there were three baskets of bread on my head.

17. In the top basket there were all kinds of baked food for the king, but birds were eating this food.”
