Genesis Chapter 40

1 And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.

<>vv. 1-2, <>offended

2 And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.

<>vv. 1-2, <>was wroth, <>chief … chief

3 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

<>ward, <>the captain of the guard, <>captain, <>Joseph, <>was bound

4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.

<>charged, <>Joseph … served them

5 And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the prison.

<>dreamed a dream … dream … dream, <>in the prison

6 And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad.

<>were sad

7 And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?

<>Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?

8 And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.

<>We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it., <>interpreter, <>Do not interpretations belong to God?

9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;

<>a vine was before me, <>a vine

10 And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:

<>in the vine were … branches, <>it budded … and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes

11 And 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.

<>in my hand

12 And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:

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.

<>Pharaoh lift up thine head, <>restore thee unto thy place, <>unto thy place

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:

<>think on me when it shall be well with thee

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.

<>I was stolen, <>stolen

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:

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.

<>the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head

18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:

<>answered

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.

<>shall hang thee on a tree, <>tree

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.

<>the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday … he made a feast

21 And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:

22 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.

23 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.

<>v. 23, <>forgat him
