Genesis 40:9 ^
Then the chief wine-servant gave Joseph an account of his dream, and said, In my dream I saw a vine before me;
Genesis 40:10 ^
and in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, [and] its blossoms shot forth; [and] the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:
Genesis 40:10 ^
And on the vine were three branches; and it seemed as if it put out buds and flowers, and from them came grapes ready for cutting.

Genesis 40:12 ^

Genesis 40:13 ^
within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee unto thine office: and thou shalt give Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
Genesis 40:13 ^
After three days Pharaoh will give you honour, and put you back into your place, and you will give him his cup as you did before, when you were his wine-servant.
Genesis 40:14 ^
But have me in thy remembrance when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
Genesis 40:14 ^
But keep me in mind when things go well for you, and be good to me and say a good word for me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison:
Genesis 40:15 ^
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.
Genesis 40:15 ^
For truly I was taken by force from the land of the Hebrews; and I have done nothing for which I might be put in prison.
Genesis 40:16 ^
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head:
Genesis 40:16 ^
Now when the chief bread-maker saw that the first dream had a good sense, he said to Joseph, I had a dream; and in my dream there were three baskets of white bread on my head;
Genesis 40:17 ^

Genesis 40:17 ^

Genesis 40:18 ^

Genesis 40:18 ^
Then Joseph said, This is the sense of your dream: the three baskets are three days;
Genesis 40:19 ^
within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
Genesis 40:19 ^
