Genesis 40:4-13 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

4. The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he took care of them. They stayed in prison many days.

5. They both dreamed a dream, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the cup bearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.

6. Joseph came in to them in the morning, and saw them, and saw that they were sad.

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

8. They said to him, “We have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it.”Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me.”

9. The chief cup bearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “In my dream, behold, a vine was in front of me,

10. and in the vine were three branches. It was as though it budded, it blossomed, and its clusters produced ripe grapes.

11. 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. Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.

13. Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head, and restore you to your office. You will give Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, the way you did when you were his cup bearer.
