7. So he asked Pharaoh’s officials who were with him in the care of his lord’s house, saying, “Why do you look so sad today?”
8. And they said to him, “We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter for it.”Then Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell them to me.”
9. The chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph and said to him, “In my dream, a vine was in front of me.
10. And in the vine there were three branches. As it budded, its blossoms shot forth and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes.
11. Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.”
12. Joseph said to him, “This is the interpretation of it. The three branches are three days.
13. Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your place, and you will deliver Pharaoh’s cup into his hand in the same way you did before when you were his cupbearer.
14. But remember me when it is well with you, and show kindness, I pray you, to me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house.
15. For I was indeed kidnapped out of the land of the Hebrews, and I have done nothing that they should put me in the dungeon.”
16. When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, “I also was in my dream, and I had three white baskets on my head.
17. In the uppermost basket there was all manner of baked goods for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.”
