Genesis 40:1-23

40:1

And it came to pass after
<0310>

these things
<01697>_,

[that] the butler
<08248> (8688)

of the king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>

and [his] baker
<0644> (8802)

had offended
<02398> (8804)

their lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

40:2

And Pharaoh
<06547>

was wroth
<07107> (8799)

against
<05921>

two
<08147>

[of] his officers
<05631>_,

against the chief
<08269>

of the butlers
<08248> (8688)_,

and against the chief
<08269>

of the bakers
<0644> (8802)_.

40:3

And he put
<05414> (8799)

them in ward
<04929>

in the house
<01004>

of the captain
<08269>

of the guard
<02876>_,

into the prison
<01004> <05470>_,

the place
<04725>

where Joseph
<03130>

[was] bound
<0631> (8803)_.

40:4

And the captain
<08269>

of the guard
<02876>

charged
<06485> (8799)

Joseph
<03130>

with them, and he served
<08334> (8762)

them: and they continued a season
<03117>

in ward
<04929>_.

40:5

And they dreamed
<02492> (8799)

a dream
<02472>

both of them
<08147>_,

each man
<0376>

his dream
<02472>

in one
<0259>

night
<03915>_,

each man
<0376>

according to the interpretation
<06623>

of his dream
<02472>_,

the butler
<08248> (8688)

and the baker
<0644> (8802)

of the king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

which [were] bound
<0631> (8803)

in the prison
<01004> <05470>_.

40:6

And Joseph
<03130>

came in
<0935> (8799)

unto them in the morning
<01242>_,

and looked
<07200> (8799)

upon them, and, behold, they [were] sad
<02196> (8802)_.

40:7

And he asked
<07592> (8799)

Pharaoh's
<06547>

officers
<05631>

that [were] with him in the ward
<04929>

of his lord's
<0113>

house
<01004>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Wherefore look
<06440>

ye [so] sadly
<07451>

to day
<03117>_?

{look...: Heb. are your faces evil?}

40:8

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, We have dreamed
<02492> (8804)

a dream
<02472>_,

and [there is] no interpreter
<06622> (8802)

of it. And Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, [Do] not interpretations
<06623>

[belong] to God
<0430>_?

tell me
<05608> (8761)

[them], I pray you.

40:9

And the chief
<08269>

butler
<08248> (8688)

told
<05608> (8762)

his dream
<02472>

to Joseph
<03130>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

to him, In my dream
<02472>_,

behold, a vine
<01612>

[was] before me
<06440>_;

40:10

And in the vine
<01612>

[were] three
<07969>

branches
<08299>_:

and it [was] as though it budded
<06524> (8802)_,

[and] her blossoms
<05322>

shot forth
<05927> (8804)_;

and the clusters
<0811>

thereof brought forth ripe
<01310> (8689)

grapes
<06025>_:

40:11

And Pharaoh's
<06547>

cup
<03563>

[was] in my hand
<03027>_:

and I took
<03947> (8799)

the grapes
<06025>_,

and pressed
<07818> (8799)

them into Pharaoh's
<06547>

cup
<03563>_,

and I gave
<05414> (8799)

the cup
<03563>

into Pharaoh's
<06547>

hand
<03709>_.

40:12

And Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, This [is] the interpretation
<06623>

of it: The three
<07969>

branches
<08299>

[are] three
<07969>

days
<03117>_:

40:13

Yet
<05750>

within three
<07969>

days
<03117>

shall Pharaoh
<06547>

lift up
<05375> (8799)

thine head
<07218>_,

and restore
<07725> (8689)

thee unto thy place
<03653>_:

and thou shalt deliver
<05414> (8804)

Pharaoh's
<06547>

cup
<03563>

into his hand
<03027>_,

after the former
<07223>

manner
<04941>

when thou wast his butler
<08248> (8688)_.

{lift...: or, reckon}

40:14

But think
<02142> (8804)

on me when it shall be well
<03190> (8799)

with thee, and shew
<06213> (8804)

kindness
<02617>_,

I pray thee, unto me, and make mention
<02142> (8689)

of me unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,

and bring me
<03318> (8689)

out of this house
<01004>_:

{think...: Heb. remember me with thee}

40:15

For indeed I was stolen away
<01589> (8795)

out of the land
<0776>

of the Hebrews
<05680>_:

and here also have I done
<06213> (8804)

nothing
<03972>

that they should put
<07760> (8804)

me into the dungeon
<0953>_.

40:16

When the chief
<08269>

baker
<0644> (8802)

saw
<07200> (8799)

that the interpretation
<06622> (8804)

was good
<02896>_,

he said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joseph
<03130>_,

I also
<0637>

[was] in my dream
<02472>_,

and, behold, [I had] three
<07969>

white
<02751>

baskets
<05536>

on my head
<07218>_:

{white: or, full of holes}

40:17

And in the uppermost
<05945>

basket
<05536>

[there was] of all manner
<03978>

of bakemeats
<04639> <0644> (8802)

for Pharaoh
<06547>_;

and the birds
<05775>

did eat
<0398> (8802)

them out of the basket
<05536>

upon
<05921>

my head
<07218>_.

{bakemeats...: Heb. meat of Pharaoh, the work of a baker, or, cook}

40:18

And Joseph
<03130>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

This [is] the interpretation
<06623>

thereof: The three
<07969>

baskets
<05536>

[are] three
<07969>

days
<03117>_:

40:19

Yet within three
<07969>

days
<03117>

shall Pharaoh
<06547>

lift up
<05375> (8799)

thy head
<07218>

from off thee, and shall hang
<08518> (8804)

thee on a tree
<06086>_;

and the birds
<05775>

shall eat
<0398> (8804)

thy flesh
<01320>

from off thee. {lift...: or, reckon thee, and take thy office from thee}

40:20

And it came to pass the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_,

[which was] Pharaoh's
<06547>

birthday
<03117> <03205> (8715)_,

that he made
<06213> (8799)

a feast
<04960>

unto all his servants
<05650>_:

and he lifted up
<05375> (8799)

the head
<07218>

of the chief
<08269>

butler
<08248> (8688)

and of the chief
<08269>

baker
<0644> (8802)

among
<08432>

his servants
<05650>_.

{lifted...: or, reckoned}

40:21

And he restored
<07725> (0)

the chief
<08269>

butler
<08248> (8688)

unto his butlership
<04945>

again
<07725> (8686)_;

and he gave
<05414> (8799)

the cup
<03563>

into Pharaoh's
<06547>

hand
<03709>_:

40:22

But he hanged
<08518> (8804)

the chief
<08269>

baker
<0644> (8802)_:

as Joseph
<03130>

had interpreted
<06622> (8804)

to them.

40:23

Yet did not the chief
<08269>

butler
<08248> (8688)

remember
<02142> (8804)

Joseph
<03130>_,

but forgat
<07911> (8799)

him.
