Ge:40:12: And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:
Ge:40:13: Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
Ge:40:14: But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
Ge: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.
Ge:40:16: When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head:
Ge:40:17: And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.
Ge:40:18: And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:
Ge:40:19: Yet within 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.
Ge:40:20: And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.
Ge:40:21: And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
Ge:40:22: But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
Ge:40:23: Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
Chapter 41
Ge:41:1: And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
Ge:41:2: And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
Ge:41:3: And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.
Ge:41:4: And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
Ge:41:5: And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
Ge:41:6: And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.
Ge:41:7: And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
Ge:41:8: And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.
Ge:41:9: Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:
Ge:41:10: Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house, both me and the chief baker:
Ge:41:11: And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
Ge:41:12: And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
Ge:41:13: And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
Ge:41:14: Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
Ge:41:15: And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.
Ge:41:16: And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
Ge:41:17: And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:
Ge:41:18: And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
Ge:41:19: And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
Ge:41:20: And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
