ASV_Strong : Genesis 40
1. And it came to pass after[H310] these things[H1697], that the butler[H8248] of the king[H4428] of Egypt[H4714] and his baker[H644] offended[H2398] their lord[H113] the king[H4428] of Egypt[H4714].
2. And Pharaoh[H6547] was wroth[H7107] against[H5921] his two[H8147] officers[H5631], against the chief[H8269] of the butlers[H8248], and against the chief[H8269] of the bakers[H644].
3. And he put[H5414] them in ward[H4929] in the house[H1004] of the captain[H8269] of the guard[H2876], into the prison[H1004], the place[H4725] where Joseph[H3130] was bound[H631].
4. And the captain[H8269] of the guard[H2876] charged[H6485] Joseph[H3130] with them[H8334], and he ministered unto them[H3117]: and they continued a season in ward[H4929].
5. And they dreamed[H2492] a dream[H2472] both of them[H8147], each man[H376] his dream[H2472], in one[H259] night[H3915], each man[H376] according to the interpretation[H6623] of his dream[H2472], the butler[H8248] and the baker[H644] of the king[H4428] of Egypt[H4714], who were bound[H631] in the prison[H1004].
6. And Joseph[H3130] came in[H935] unto them in the morning[H1242], and saw[H7200] them[H2196], and, behold, they were sad.
7. And he asked[H7592] Pharaoh[H6547]'s officers[H5631] that were with him in ward[H4929] in his master[H113]'s house[H1004], saying[H559], Wherefore look[H6440] ye so sad[H7451] to-day[H3117]?
8. And they said[H559] unto him[H2492], We have dreamed a dream[H2472], and there is none that can interpret[H6622] it[H3130]. And Joseph said[H559] unto them[H6623], Do not interpretations belong to God[H430]? tell it me[H5608], I pray you.
9. And the chief[H8269] butler[H8248] told[H5608] his dream[H2472] to Joseph[H3130], and said[H559] to him[H2472], In my dream, behold[H1612], a vine was before me[H6440];
10. and in the vine[H1612] were three[H7969] branches[H8299]: and it was as though it budded[H6524], and its blossoms[H5322] shot forth[H5927]; and the clusters[H811] thereof brought forth ripe[H1310] grapes[H6025]:
11. and Pharaoh[H6547]'s cup[H3563] was in my hand[H3027]; and I took[H3947] the grapes[H6025], and pressed[H7818] them into Pharaoh[H6547]'s cup[H3563], and I gave[H5414] the cup[H3563] into Pharaoh[H6547]'s hand[H3709].
12. And Joseph[H3130] said[H559] unto him[H6623], This is the interpretation of it[H7969]: the three branches[H8299] are three[H7969] days[H3117];
13. within yet[H5750] three[H7969] days[H3117] shall Pharaoh[H6547] lift up[H5375] thy head[H7218], and restore[H7725] thee unto thine office[H3653]: and thou shalt give[H5414] Pharaoh[H6547]'s cup[H3563] into his hand[H3027], after the former[H7223] manner[H4941] when thou wast his butler[H8248].
14. But have me in thy remembrance when it shall be well[H3190] with thee[H6213], and show kindness[H2617], I pray thee[H2142], unto me, and make mention of me[H3318] unto Pharaoh[H6547], and bring me[H3318] out of this house[H1004]:
15. for indeed I was stolen away[H1589] out of the land[H776] of the Hebrews[H5680]: and here also have I done[H6213] nothing[H3972] that they should put[H7760] me into the dungeon[H953].
16. When the chief[H8269] baker[H644] saw[H7200] that the interpretation[H6622] was good[H2896], he said[H559] unto Joseph[H3130], I also[H637] was in my dream[H2472], and[H7969], behold, three baskets[H5536] of white[H2751] bread were on my head[H7218]:
17. and in the uppermost[H5945] basket[H5536] there was of all manner[H3978] of baked[H4639] food for Pharaoh[H6547]; and the birds[H5775] did eat[H398] them out of the basket[H5536] upon[H5921] my head[H7218].
18. And Joseph[H3130] answered[H6030] and said[H559], This is the interpretation[H6623] thereof[H7969]: the three baskets[H5536] are three[H7969] days[H3117];
19. within yet three[H7969] days[H3117] shall Pharaoh[H6547] lift up[H5375] thy head[H7218] from off thee[H8518], and shall hang thee on a tree[H6086]; and the birds[H5775] shall eat[H398] thy flesh from off thee[H1320].
20. And it came to pass the third[H7992] day[H3117], which was Pharaoh[H6547]'s birthday[H3117], that he made[H6213] a feast[H4960] unto all his servants[H5650]: and he lifted up[H5375] the head[H7218] of the chief[H8269] butler[H8248] and the head of the chief[H8269] baker[H644] among[H8432] his servants[H5650].
21. And he restored[H7725] the chief[H8269] butler[H8248] unto his butlership[H4945] again[H7725]; and he gave[H5414] the cup[H3563] into Pharaoh[H6547]'s hand[H3709]:
22. but he hanged[H8518] the chief[H8269] baker[H644]: as Joseph[H3130] had interpreted to them[H6622].
23. Yet did not the chief[H8269] butler[H8248] remember[H2142] Joseph[H3130], but forgat him[H7911].
