4. The captain of the guard assigned Joseph to them, and he became their personal attendant. And they were in custody for some time.
5. The Egyptian king’s cupbearer and baker, who were confined in the prison, each had a dream. Both had a dream on the same night, and each dream had its own meaning.
6. When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they looked distraught.
7. So he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were in custody with him in his master’s house, “Why do you look so sad today? ”
8. “We had dreams,” they said to him, “but there is no one to interpret them.”Then Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams.”
9. So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph: “In my dream there was a vine in front of me.
10. On the vine were three branches. As soon as it budded, its blossoms came out and its clusters ripened into grapes.
11. Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.”
12. “This is its interpretation,” Joseph said to him. “The three branches are three days.
13. In just three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your position. You will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand the way you used to when you were his cupbearer.
