Genesis 40

Some time later, the cupbearer and baker of Egypt’s king had both given offense
To their lord, the king of Egypt. Pharaoh was angry with his two officials, and hence,
He took his chief cupbearer and chief baker, and had them taken into custody
In the house of the captain of the guard, the same dungeon where Joseph happened to be.
The guard captain appointed Joseph to attend them. In custody, they spent much time,
And the two of them– both the cupbearer and baker of Pharaoh who had been confined–
They both had dreams, each man with his own dream that had its own meaning on that single night.
When Joseph came to them in the morning and saw them, their depression was in plain sight.
He asked Pharaoh’s officials, in custody with him, “Why do you appear sad today?”
They replied, “We have dreamt dreams, and there’s no intepreter to tell us what the dreams say.”
Joseph said to them, “Are not all interpretations from God? Pray, tell your dreams to me.”
The chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph. He said, “In my dream, a vine I did see.
There was a vine in front of me, and on the vine were three branches each with winding shapes,
And just as it was budding, the blossoms came out, and the clusters ripened into grapes.
Then the Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand. I picked the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh’s cup,
And put the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.” Joseph said to him, “Here’s what your dream means, listen up:
The three branches are three days, in three days Pharaoh will lift up your head, your post restored,
And you shall again place Pharaoh’s cup in his hand, like you did as cupbearer before.
But please keep me in mind when it goes well for you, kindly mention my name to Pharaoh,
So that you will free me from this place. For in truth, I was kidnapped– stolen!– long ago,
From the land of the Hebrews. And here too I’ve done nothing to merit a dungeon stay.”
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he decided to say,
“I also had a dream of that type. On my head were three wicker baskets of bread,
And in the topmost basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh. But then the birds fed!
The birds ate the food out of the basket atop my head.” Joseph then gave his reply,
“Here’s the interpretation: The three baskets are three days, and when three days have gone by,
Pharaoh will lift up your head– from off of your body!– and then hang you up from a tree,
And the birds will all pick at your flesh.” On the third day, Pharaoh’s birthday, it came to be
That he held a great banquet for all of his servants, and lifted the heads of a pair:
His chief cupbearer and his chief baker were singled out from all of those who were there.
He restored the chief cupbearer to his cupbearership, to put the cup once again
In the hand of Pharoah. But the chief baker he hanged, all just as Joseph told the men.
It all happened according to what Joseph gave as interpretations from their dreams.
But the cupbearer did not keep Joseph in mind, he forgot his promise to redeem.
