Bereshit 40

And it was after these things, that the cupbearer of the king of Egypt and the baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt.

And Pharaoh was wroth with his two servants — the chief of the cupbearers, and the chief of the bakers.

And he placed them in custody, in the house of the chief of the executioners, in the prison — the place where Joseph was held.

And the chief of the executioners appointed Joseph over them, to serve them; and they spent a time in the prison.

Until the two of them saw a dream — each one his own, on one night; and the dream of each was according to its [own] interpretation — the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, the prisoners in the prison.

And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and saw their faces — and behold, they were downcast.

And he asked Pharaoh's servants who were with him in the custody of his master's house, saying: 'Why are your faces changed today?'

They said to him: 'We have seen a dream — and there is no interpreter of it.' He said to them: 'Surely interpretations belong to God; but recount them to me.'

And the chief of the cupbearers recounted his dream to Joseph, and said: 'I saw — and behold, a vine was before me.

And on the vine were three branches; and as it budded, its blossoms came up, and its clusters ripened and became grapes.

And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and squeezed them into it, and handed it to him.'

Joseph said to him: 'This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.

Within three days, Pharaoh shall remember you, and shall restore you to your office; and you shall hand him his cup, as in your former manner, when you were his cupbearer.

Only — remember me with you when your matter has been set right for you; and do me a kindness, and recall me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.

For I was stolen from the land of the Hebrews; and here too I have done nothing for which I should be put in confinement.'

And when the chief of the bakers saw that he had interpreted it for good, he said to him: 'I too saw — and behold, three baskets of fine bread were upon my head;

and in the topmost basket, of all the food of Pharaoh that the baker makes; and the bird was eating from them — from the baskets upon my head.'

And Joseph answered, and said: 'This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days.

Within three days, Pharaoh shall lift up your head from your body, and impale you on a stake; and the bird shall eat of your flesh.'

And it was on the third day — which was like Pharaoh's birthday — he made a feast for all his officers; and he remembered the chief of the cupbearers and the chief of the bakers among them.

And he commanded that the chief of the cupbearers be restored to his cup-bearing; and he handed him his cup.

And he impaled the chief of the bakers — as Joseph had interpreted for them.

But the chief of the cupbearers did not remember Joseph; he forgot him.
