DARBY'S TRANSLATION
Genesis
Chapter 40
40:1 And it came to pass after these things, [that] the cup-bearer of the king of Egypt and the baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.
40:2 And Pharaoh was wroth with his two chamberlains -- with the chief of the cup-bearers and with the chief of the bakers;
40:3 and he put them in custody into the house of the captain of the life-guard, into the tower-house, into the place where Joseph was imprisoned.
40:4 And the captain of the life-guard appointed Joseph to them, that he should attend on them. And they were [several] days in custody.
40:5 And they dreamed a dream, both of them in one night, each his dream, each according to the interpretation of his dream, the cup-bearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were imprisoned in the tower-house.
40:6 And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and looked on them, and behold, they were sad.
40:7 And he asked Pharaoh`s chamberlains that were with him in custody in his lord`s house, saying, Why are your faces [so] sad to-day?
40:8 And they said to him, We have dreamt a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, [Do] not interpretations [belong] to God? tell me [your dreams], I pray you.
40:9 Then the chief of the cup-bearers told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
40:10 and in the vine were three branches; and it was as though it budded: its blossoms shot forth, its clusters ripened into grapes.
40:11 And Pharaoh`s cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh`s cup, and gave the cup into Pharaoh`s hand.
40:12 And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days.
40:13 In yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head and restore thee to thy place, and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh`s cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his cup-bearer.
40:14 Only bear a remembrance with thee of me when it goes well with thee, and deal kindly, I pray thee, with me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house;
40:15 for indeed I was stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
40:16 And when the chief of the bakers saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also was in my dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head.
40:17 And in the uppermost basket there were all manner of victuals for Pharaoh that the baker makes, and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.
40:18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation of it: the three baskets are three days.
40:19 In yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hang thee on a tree; and the birds will eat thy flesh from off thee.
40:20 And it came to pass the third day -- Pharaoh`s birthday -- that he made a feast to all his bondmen. And he lifted up the head of the chief of the cup-bearers, and the head of the chief of the bakers among his bondmen.
40:21 And he restored the chief of the cup-bearers to his office of cup-bearer again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh`s hand.
40:22 And he hanged the chief of the bakers, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
40:23 But the chief of the cup-bearers did not remember Joseph, and forgot him.
