Genesis 40:9–15

9

The chief cup bearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “In my dream, behold, a vine was in front of me,

10

and in the vine were three branches. It was as though it budded, it blossomed, and its clusters produced ripe grapes.

11

Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.”

Selected verse

Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.

13

Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head, and restore you to your office. You will give Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, the way you did when you were his cup bearer.

14

But remember me when it is well with you. Please show kindness to me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.

15

For indeed, I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.”
