it budded,
and
her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:
11
And
Pharaoh’s cup
was
in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I
gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.
12
And Joseph said unto him, This
is
the interpretation of it: The
three branches
are
three days:
13
Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore
thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, after the former manner
when thou wast his butler.
14
But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness,
I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
15
For
indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that
they should put me into the dungeon.
16
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good,
he said unto Joseph, I also
was
in my dream, and, behold,
I had
three white baskets on my head:
17
And in the uppermost basket
there was
of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did
eat them out of the basket upon my head.
18
And Joseph answered and said, This
is
the interpretation
thereof: The three baskets
are
three days:
19
Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head
from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
20
And it came to pass the third day,
which was
Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast unto
all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his
servants.
21
And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into
Pharaoh’s hand:
22
But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23
Yet did not
the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
CHAPTER 41
And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by
the river.
2
And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed;
and they fed in a meadow.
3
And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill
favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the
other
kine upon the brink of the river.
4
And the ill
favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
5
And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one
stalk, rank and good.
6
And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after
them.
7
And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and,
behold,
it was
a dream.
8
And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he
sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them
his dream; but
there was
none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.
9
Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:
10
Pharaoh
was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard’s house, both
me
and
the chief baker:
11
And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according
to the interpretation of his dream.
12
And
there was
there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant
