CHAPTER 40 Joseph Interprets Dreams

1 And it came to pass after these things, [⁶sinned ¹the ²chief wine taster ³of the ⁴king ⁵of Egypt], and the chief baker against their master the king of Egypt. 2 And Pharaoh was provoked to anger over [²two ³eunuchs ¹his] -- over the chief wine taster and over the chief baker. 3 And he put them under guard in the jail, into the place where Joseph had been taken away there. 4 And [³combined ¹the ²chief jailer] them to Joseph, and he stood beside them. And they were some days under guard. 5 And [²saw ¹both] a dream in one night. And the vision of the dream of the chief wine taster and the chief baker, the ones who were in service to the king of Egypt, the ones being in the jail, was this. 6 [³entered ¹And ⁴to ⁵them ²Joseph] in the morning, and he saw them, and they were disturbed. 7 And he asked the eunuchs of Pharaoh, who were with him under guard, by his master, saying, Why is it that your faces are looking downcast today? 8 And they said to him, [²a dream ¹We saw], and the interpreting it is not. [³said ¹And ⁴to them ²Joseph], [²not ⁶through ⁷God ³the ⁴explanation ⁵of them ¹Is]? Describe them then to me. 9 And [³described ¹the ²chief wine taster] his dream to Joseph. And he said, In my sleep there was a grapevine before me. 10 And in the grapevine three lower branches; and it flourished offering [²buds ¹mature] -- the clusters of the grape. 11 And the cup of Pharaoh was in my hand, and I took the grape cluster and squeezed it into the cup, and gave the cup into the hand of Pharaoh. 12 And [²said ³to him ¹Joseph], This is the interpretation of it. The three lower branches [²three ³days ¹are]. 13 In yet three days and Pharaoh will remember your office, and restore you to your office of chief wine taster, and you will give the cup to Pharaoh, into his hand according to [³office ¹your ²former], as you were of the wine servers. 14 But remember me of yourself, whenever good happens to you, and you shall do with me an act of mercy. And you shall remind [²concerning ³me ¹Pharaoh], and lead me from this fortress. 15 For by stealth I was stolen from the land of the Hebrews, and here I did not do anything, but they put me into this pit. 16 And [³saw ¹the ²chief baker] that rightly he interpreted, and he said to Joseph, I also saw a dream, and I imagined three bins of groats, lifted upon my head. 17 And in the bin above, items of all kinds of things of which Pharaoh eats -- the work of a baker. And the birds of the heaven ate them from the bin upon my head. 18 And answering Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it. The three bins [²three ³days ¹are]. 19 Yet in three days and Pharaoh will remove your head from you, and hang you upon a timber, and [⁵will eat ¹the ²birds ³of the ⁴heaven] the flesh from you. 20 And it came to pass in the [²day ¹third], [³day ²the birth ¹that it was] of Pharaoh, and he made a banquet for all his servants, and he remembered concerning the chief wine taster, and the office of the chief baker in the midst of his servants. 21 And he restored the chief wine taster to his office, and he gave the cup unto the hand of Pharaoh. 22 And the chief baker he hung, as [²interpreted ³to them ¹Joseph]. 23 And [³remembered not ¹the ²chief wine taster] Joseph, but forgot him.
