Genesis 40:5-11 Common English Bible (CEB)

5. both of them—the wine steward and the baker for Egypt’s king who were imprisoned in the jail—had dreams one night, and each man’s dream had its own meaning.

6. When Joseph met them in the morning, he saw that they were upset.

7. He asked the officers of Pharaoh who were under arrest with him in his master’s house, "Why do you look so distressed today?"

8. They answered, "We’ve both had dreams, but there’s no one to interpret them."Joseph said to them, "Don’t interpretations belong to God? Describe your dreams to me."

9. The chief wine steward described his dream to Joseph: "In my dream there was a vine right in front of me,

10. and on the vine were three branches. When it budded, its blossoms appeared, and its clusters ripened into grapes.

11. Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, so I took the grapes, crushed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and put the cup in Pharaoh’s hand."
