1Pharaoh's butler and baker in prison are committed to Joseph's charge. 5He interpreteth their dreams, 20which come to pass according to Joseph's interpretation. 23The ingratitude of the butler.
And he put them *in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the eprison, the place where Joseph was bound.
¶And they gdreamed 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.
And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him *in the ward of his lord's house, saying, iWherefore 1look ye so sadly to day?
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:
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.
Yet nwithin three days shall Pharaoh 2lift 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.
But 3think 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:
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 4white baskets on my head:
And in the uppermost basket there was of all *manner of 5*bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.
And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:
And he restored the chief *butler unto his *butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
Yet did not the chief *butler remember Joseph, but vforgat him.
