YOSEPH INTERPRETS DREAMS
And so be it, after these words, the butler of the sovereign of Misrayim and his baker sin against their adoni the sovereign of Misrayim: 2 and Paroh rages against two of his eunuchs - against the governor of the butlers and against the governor of the bakers: 3 and he gives them under guard in the house of the governor of the slaughterers - in the tower house the place where Yoseph is bound: 4 and the governor of the slaughterers musters Yoseph with them and he ministers to them: and they continue a day under guard. 5 And they dream a dream, the two of them - each man his dream in one night - each man according to the interpretation of his dream; the butler and the baker of the sovereign of Misrayim who are bound in the tower house. 6 And Yoseph comes in to them in the morning and sees them and behold, they are wroth: 7 and he asks the eunuchs of Paroh who are with him under the guard of the house of his adoni, saying, Why are your faces evil today? 8 And they say to him, We dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter thereof. And Yoseph says to them, Are not interpretations from Elohim? Describe me them, I beseech you. 9 And the governor of the butlers describes his dream to Yoseph and says to him, In my dream, behold, a vine at my face; 10 and in the vine, three tendrils as blossoming; and her blossoms ascend: and the clusters thereof ripen grapes: 11 and the cup of Paroh is in my hand: and I take the grapes and press them into the cup of Paroh and I give the cup into the palm of Paroh. 12 And Yoseph says to him, This is the interpretation thereof: The three tendrils are three days: 13 yet within three days Paroh lifts your head and restores you to your station: and you give the cup of Paroh into his hand, as the first judgment when you were his butler. 14 But remember me when you are well-pleased; and work mercy, I beseech you, to me and remember me to Paroh and bring me from this house: 15 for in stealing, I was stolen from the land of the Hebrews: and here also I worked naught that they put me into the well. 16 When the governor of the bakers sees the interpretation is good, he says to Yoseph, I also - in my dream, and behold, three perforated baskets on my head: 17 and in the uppermost basket are the works of a baker for Paroh; and the flyers eat them from the basket on my head. 18 And Yoseph answers and says, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days: 19 again within three days Paroh lifts your head from off you and hangs you on a tree; and the flyers eat your flesh from you. 20 And so be it, the third day, the birthday of Paroh, he works a banquet to all his servants: and he lifts the head of the governor of the butlers and the head of the governor of the bakers among his servants: 21 and he restores the governor of the butlers to his butlership again; and he gives the cup into the palm of Paroh: 22 and he hangs the governor of the bakers: as Yoseph interprets to them. 23 Yet the governor of the butlers remembers not Yoseph, but forgets him.
