The Dream of the Chief Butler

Genesis 40:9-15

And the chief of the butlers recounteth his dream to Joseph, and saith to him, `In my dream, then lo, a vine is before me!

and in the vine are three branches, and it is as it were flourishing; gone up hath its blossom, its clusters have ripened grapes;

and Pharaoh's cup is in my hand, and I take the grapes and press them into the cup of Pharaoh, and I give the cup into the hand of Pharaoh.'

And Joseph saith to him, `This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days;

yet, within three days doth Pharaoh lift up thy head, and hath put thee back on thy station, and thou hast given the cup of Pharaoh into his hand, according to the former custom when thou wast his butler.

`Surely if thou hast remembered me with thee, when it is well with thee, and hast done (I pray thee) kindness with me, and hast made mention of me unto Pharaoh, then hast thou brought me out from this house,

for I was really stolen from the land of the Hebrews; and here also have I done nothing that they have put me in the pit.'
