Genesis 40:9-15

« Gen 39Gen 40Gen 41 »

9 So the chief cupbearer recounted his dream to Joseph and said to him, “In my dream, ¹behold, there was a vine in front of me; 10 and on the vine were three branches. And as it was budding, its blossoms came out, and its clusters produced ripe grapes. 11 Now Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; so I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I put the cup into Pharaoh’s ¹hand.” 12 Then Joseph said to him, “This is the ^ainterpretation of it: the three branches are three days; 13 within three more days Pharaoh will ¹lift up your head and restore you to your ²office; and you will put Pharaoh’s cup into his hand according to your former custom when you were his cupbearer. 14 Only remember me when it goes well with you, and please ^ashow me lovingkindness by remembering me to Pharaoh and getting me out of this house. 15 For ^aI was in fact stolen from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing that they should have put me into the pit.”
