And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations\r\nbelong to God? tell me them, I pray you.\r\n\r\n40:9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him,\r\nIn my dream, behold, a vine was before me; 40:10 And in the vine were\r\nthree branches: and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot\r\nforth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes: 40:11 And\r\nPharaoh’s cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them\r\ninto Pharaoh’s cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.\r\n\r\n40:12 And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The\r\nthree branches are three days: 40:13 Yet within three days shall\r\nPharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou\r\nshalt deliver Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, after the former manner\r\nwhen thou wast his butler.\r\n\r\n40:14 But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew\r\nkindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh,\r\nand bring me out of this house: 40:15 For indeed I was stolen away out\r\nof the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that\r\nthey should put me into the dungeon.\r\n\r\n40:16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he\r\nsaid unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three\r\nwhite baskets on my head: 40:17 And in the uppermost basket there was\r\nof all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out\r\nof the basket upon my head.\r\n\r\n40:18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation\r\nthereof: The three baskets are three days: 40:19 Yet within three days\r\nshall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a\r\ntree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.\r\n\r\n40:20 And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday,\r\nthat he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head\r\nof the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.\r\n\r\n40:21 And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and\r\nhe gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand: 40:22 But he hanged the chief\r\nbaker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.\r\n\r\n40:23 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.\r\n\r","title":"Genesis 40"},"relationships":[{"peer":"01KG2TP96Y3VDB833SF2BEP5DN","peer_label":"The King James Version of the Bible","peer_type":"reference","predicate":"in"},{"peer":"01KG2T4RGFNHVF08APV5NRS5AD","peer_label":"kjv.txt","peer_type":"file","predicate":"extractedFrom"},{"peer":"01KG2T49K0H5GDRB0G4YDTPG8H","peer_label":"Test Collection","peer_type":"collection","predicate":"collection"},{"peer":"01KG2TZFZ6WCF8E0JWJFWS8SE4","peer_label":"Genesis 39","peer_type":"chapter","predicate":"prev"},{"peer":"01KG2TYPBTR2Z47CS34Q4Y1QD8","peer_label":"Genesis 41","peer_type":"chapter","predicate":"next"}],"ver":2,"created_at":"2026-01-28T17:38:24.187Z","ts":"2026-01-28T17:38:58.604Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFF0H3YRP9ZSM033AM0QJ47H"}}
