And they
said unto him, We have
dreamed a
dream, and there is no
interpreter of it. And
Joseph said unto them, Do not
interpretations belong to
God? tell
me them, I pray you.

And the
chief butler told his
dream to
Joseph, and
said to him, In my
dream, behold, a
vine was before
me;

And in the
vine were
three branches: and it was as though it
budded, and her
blossoms shot
forth; and the
clusters thereof brought forth
ripe grapes:

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.

And
Joseph said unto him, This is the
interpretation of it: The
three branches are
three days:

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.

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:

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.

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:

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.

And
Joseph answered and
said, This is the

three baskets are
