Genesis 40:6-13 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

6. And Yosĕph came in to them in the morning and looked at them and saw that they were sad.

7. And he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in confinement of his master’s house, saying, “Why do you look so sad today?”

8. And they said to him, “We each have dreamed a dream, and there is no one to interpret it.” And Yosĕph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to Elohim? Relate them to me, please.”

9. So the chief cupbearer related his dream to Yosĕph, and said to him, “See, in my dream a vine was before me,

10. and in the vine were three branches, and it was as though it budded – its blossoms shot forth, and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes.

11. “And Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand. So I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.”

12. And Yosĕph said to him, “This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days.

13. “Yet, within three days Pharaoh is going to lift up your head and restore you to your place, and you shall put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand according to the former ruling, when you were his cupbearer.
