Joseph

The prison warden made Yosef supervisor of all the prisoners in the prison; so that whatever they did there, he was in charge of it.

So he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison, in the same place where Yosef was kept.

The captain of the guard charged Yosef to be with them, and he became their attendant while they remained in prison.

Yosef came in to them in the morning and saw that they looked sad.

They said to him, "We each had a dream, and there's no one around who can interpret it."Yosef said to them, "Don't interpretations belong to God? Tell it to me, please."

Then the chief cupbearer told Yosef his dream: "In my dream, there in front of me was a vine,

Yosef said to him, "Here is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.

When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Yosef, "I too saw in my dream: there were three baskets of white bread on my head.

Yosef answered, "Here is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days.

But he hanged the chief baker, as Yosef had interpreted to them.

Nevertheless, the chief cupbearer didn't remember Yosef, but forgot him.

Then Pharaoh summoned Yosef, and they brought him quickly out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothes, and came in to Pharaoh.

Pharaoh said to Yosef, "I had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it; but I've heard it said about you that when you hear a dream, you can interpret it."

Yosef answered Pharaoh, "It isn't in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer that will set his mind at peace."

Pharaoh said to Yosef, "In my dream, I stood at the edge of the river;

Yosef said to Pharaoh, "The dreams of Pharaoh are the same: God has told Pharaoh what he is about to do.

So Pharaoh said to Yosef, "Since God has shown you all this - there is no one as discerning and wise as you -

Pharaoh said to Yosef, "Here, I place you in charge of the whole land of Egypt."

Pharaoh took his signet ring off his hand and put it on Yosef's hand, had him clothed in fine linen with a gold chain around his neck

Pharaoh said to Yosef, "I, Pharaoh, decree that without your approval no one is to raise his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt."

Pharaoh called Yosef by the name Tzafnat-Pa'neach and gave him as his wife Osnat the daughter of Poti-Fera priest of On. Then Yosef went out through all the land of Egypt.

Yosef was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt; then he left Pharaoh's presence and traveled through all the land of Egypt.

Yosef stored grain in quantities like the sand on the seashore, so much that they stopped counting, because it was beyond measure.

Two sons were born to Yosef before the year of famine came; Osnat the daughter of Poti-Fera priest of On bore them to him.

Yosef called the firstborn M'nasheh [causing to forget], "Because God has caused me to forget all the troubles I suffered at the hands of my family."
