Genesis 40:11-16 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

11. I was holding the king’s cup. So I took the grapes and squeezed the juice into the cup. Then I gave it to the king.”

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

13. Before the end of three days the king will free you. He will allow you to return to your work. You will serve the king his wine just as you did before.

14. But when you are free, remember me. Be kind to me. Tell the king about me so that I can get out of this prison.

15. I was taken by force from the land of the Hebrews. And I have done nothing here to deserve being put in prison.”

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