401 Then it came about after these things , the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt offended their lord , the king of Egypt . 2 Pharaoh was furious with his two officials , the chief cupbearer and the chief baker . 3 So he put them in confinement in the house of the captain of the bodyguard , in the jail e , the same place where e Joseph was imprisoned . 4 The captain of the bodyguard put Joseph in charge of them, and he took care of them; and they were in confinement for some time .
5 Then the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt , who were confined in jail e , both had a dream the same night , each man with his own dream and each dream with its own interpretation . 6 When Joseph came to them in the morning and observed them, behold , they were dejected . 7 He asked Pharaoh's officials who were with him in confinement in his master's house , " Why are your faces so sad today ?" 8 Then they said to him, " We have had a dream and there is no one to interpret it." Then Joseph said to them, " Do not interpretations belong to God ? Tell it to me, please ." 9 So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph , and said to him, "In my dream , behold , there was a vine in front of me; 10 and on the vine were three branches . And as it was budding , its blossoms came out, and its clusters produced ripe grapes . 11 "Now Pharaoh's cup was in my hand ; so I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup , and I put the cup into Pharaoh's hand ." 12 Then Joseph said to him, "This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days ; 13 within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office ; and you will put Pharaoh's cup into his hand according to your former custom when you were his cupbearer . 14 "Only e keep me in mind when it goes well with you, and please do me a kindness by mentioning me to Pharaoh and get me out of this house . 15 "For I was in fact kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews , and even here I have done nothing e that they should have put me into the dungeon ." 16 When the chief baker saw that he had interpreted favorably , he said to Joseph , "I also saw in my dream , and behold , there were three baskets of white bread on my head ; 17 and in the top basket there were some of all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh , and the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head ." 18 Then Joseph answered and said , "This is its interpretation : the three baskets are three days ; 19 within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head from you and will hang you on a tree , and the birds will eat your flesh off e you."
20 Thus it came about on the third day , which was Pharaoh's birthday e , that he made a feast for all his servants ; and 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 office , and he put the cup into 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.
