bound in the prison.
040:006 Joseph came in to them in the morning, and saw them, and saw
that they were sad.
040:007 He asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his
master's house, saying, "Why do you look so sad today?"
040:008 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."
040:009 The chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him,
"In my dream, behold, a vine was in front of me,
040:010 and in the vine were three branches. It was as though it budded,
its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters of it brought
forth ripe grapes.
040:011 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."
040:012 Joseph said to him, "This is the interpretation of it:
the three branches are three days.
040:013 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 cupbearer.
040:014 But remember me when it will be well with you, and show
kindness, please, to me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh,
and bring me out of this house.
040:015 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."
040:016 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good,
he said to Joseph, "I also was in my dream, and behold,
three baskets of white bread were on my head.
