1And it came to pass after these things, that the chief cupbearer of the king of Mitzrayim [Egypt] and the chief baker sinned against their lord, the king of Mitzrayim.
2And Pharaoh was angry with his two eunuchs, with the chief cupbearer and with the chief baker.
3And he put them in mishmar [custody], in the prison, in the place where Yosef was confined.
4And the captain of the guard charged Yosef with them, and he attended them; and they were there yamim [days] in the prison.
5And they both had a dream in one night, each man’s dream, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Mitzrayim, who were confined in the prison.
6And Yosef came in to them in the morning, and looked upon them, and behold, they were sad.
7And he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in the prison of his master’s house, saying, “Why do you look so sad today?”
8And they said to him, “We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it.” And Yosef said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to Elohim? Tell them to me, I pray you.”
9And the chief cupbearer told his dream to Yosef, and said to him, “In my dream, behold, a vine was before me.
10And in the vine were three branches; and it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes.
11And Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.”
12And Yosef said to him, “This is the interpretation: the three branches are shalosh yamim [three days].
13Yet within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office, and you shall put Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, after the former manner when you were his cupbearer.
14But remember me when it is well with you, and show chesed [covenant kindness] to me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.
15For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Ivrim [Hebrews]; and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the bor [dungeon/pit].”
16And the chief baker saw that he had interpreted well, and he said to Yosef, “I also was in my dream, and behold, I had three baskets of white bread on my head.
17And in the uppermost basket there was all manner of baked food for Pharaoh; and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.”
18And Yosef answered and said, “This is the interpretation: the three baskets are shalosh yamim [three days].
19Yet within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head from off you, and will hang you on a tree; and the birds shall eat your flesh from you.”
20And it came to pass on the Yom HaShelishi [third day], which was Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a mishteh [feast/banquet] for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
21And he restored the chief cupbearer to his office again, and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.
22But he hanged the chief baker, as Yosef had interpreted to them.
23Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Yosef, but forgot him.
