7. And he asked the court officials of Pharaoh that were with him in the custody of his master’s house, “Why are your faces sad today?”
8. And they said to him, “We each dreamed a dream, but there is no one to interpret it.” And Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell them to me.”
9. Then the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and he said to him, “In my dream, now behold, there was a vine before me,
10. and on the vine were three branches. And as it budded, its blossoms came up, and its clusters of grapes grew ripe.
11. And the cup of Pharaoh was in my hand, and I took the grapes and squeezed them into the cup of Pharaoh. Then I placed the cup into the hand of Pharaoh.”
12. Then Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: The three branches, they are three days.
13. In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and will restore you to your office. And you shall put the cup of Pharaoh into his hand as was formerly the custom, when you were his cupbearer.
14. But remember me when it goes well with you, and please may you show kindness with respect to me, and mention me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.
15. For I was surely kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have done nothing that they should put me in this pit.”
16. And when the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good he said to Joseph, “I also dreamed. In my dream, now behold, there were three baskets of bread upon my head.
17. And in the upper basket were all sorts of baked foods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket upon my head.”
