The Latter Days - Genesis Chapter 40

Gen 40:1 And it came to pass after [0310] these things [01697], that the butler [08248] (8688) of the king [04428] of Egypt [04714] and [his] baker [0644] (8802) had offended [02398] (8804) their lord [0113] the king [04428] of Egypt [04714].
Gen 40:2 And Pharaoh [06547] was wroth [07107] (8799) against [05921] two [08147] of his officers [05631], against the chief [08269] of the butlers [08248] (8688), and against the chief [08269] of the bakers [0644] (8802).
Gen 40:3 And he put [05414] (8799) them in ward [04929] in the house [01004] of the captain [08269] of the guard [02876], into the prison [01004] [05470], the place [04725] where Joseph [03130] was bound [0631] (8803).
Gen 40:4 And the captain [08269] of the guard [02876] charged [06485] (8799) Joseph [03130] with them, and he served [08334] (8762) them: and they continued a season [03117] in ward [04929].
Gen 40:5 And they dreamed [02492] (8799) a dream [02472] both of them [08147], each man [0376] his dream [02472] in one [0259] night [03915], each man [0376] according to the interpretation [06623] of his dream [02472], the butler [08248] (8688) and the baker [0644] (8802) of the king [04428] of Egypt [04714], which were bound [0631] (8803) in the prison [01004] [05470].
Gen 40:6 And Joseph [03130] came in [0935] (8799) unto them in the morning [01242], and looked [07200] (8799) upon them, and, behold, they were sad [02196] (8802).
Gen 40:7 And he asked [07592] (8799) Pharaoh's [06547] officers [05631] that were with him in the ward [04929] of his lord's [0113] house [01004], saying [0559] (8800), Wherefore look [06440] ye [so] sadly [07451] to day [03117]?
Gen 40:8 And they said [0559] (8799) unto him, We have dreamed [02492] (8804) a dream [02472], and there is no interpreter [06622] (8802) of it. And Joseph [03130] said [0559] (8799) unto them, do not interpretations [06623] [belong] to God [0430]? tell me [05608] (8761) them, I pray you.
Gen 40:9 And the chief [08269] butler [08248] (8688) told [05608] (8762) his dream [02472] to Joseph [03130], and said [0559] (8799) to him, In my dream [02472], behold, a vine [01612] was before me [06440];
Gen 40:10 And in the vine [01612] were three [07969] branches [08299]: and it was as though it budded [06524] (8802), and her blossoms [05322] shot forth [05927] (8804); and the clusters [0811] thereof brought forth ripe [01310] (8689) grapes [06025]:
Gen 40:11 And Pharaoh's [06547] cup [03563] was in my hand [03027]: and I took [03947] (8799) the grapes [06025], and pressed [07818] (8799) them into Pharaoh's [06547] cup [03563], and I gave [05414] (8799) the cup [03563] into Pharaoh's [06547] hand [03709].
Gen 40:12 And Joseph [03130] said [0559] (8799) unto him, This is the interpretation [06623] of it: The three [07969] branches [08299] are three [07969] days [03117]:
Gen 40:13 Yet [05750] within three [07969] days [03117] shall Pharaoh [06547] lift up [05375] (8799) thine head [07218], and restore [07725] (8689) thee unto thy place [03653]: and thou shalt deliver [05414] (8804) Pharaoh's [06547] cup [03563] into his hand [03027], after the former [07223] manner [04941] when thou wast his butler [08248] (8688).
Gen 40:14 But think [02142] (8804) on me when it shall be well [03190] (8799) with thee, and shew [06213] (8804) kindness [02617], I pray thee, unto me, and make mention [02142] (8689) of me unto Pharaoh [06547], and bring me [03318] (8689) out of this house [01004]:
Gen 40:15 For indeed I was stolen away [01589] (8795) out of the land [0776] of the Hebrews [05680]: and here also have I done [06213] (8804) nothing [03972] that they should put [07760] (8804) me into the dungeon [0953].
Gen 40:16 When the chief [08269] baker [0644] (8802) saw [07200] (8799) that the interpretation [06622] (8804) was good [02896], he said [0559] (8799) unto Joseph [03130], I also [0637] was in my dream [02472], and, behold, [I had] three [07969] white [02751] baskets [05536] on my head [07218]:
Gen 40:17 And in the uppermost [05945] basket [05536] there was of all manner [03978] of bakemeats [04639] [0644] (8802) for Pharaoh [06547]; and the birds [05775] did eat [0398] (8802) them out of the basket [05536] upon [05921] my head [07218].
Gen 40:18 And Joseph [03130] answered [06030] (8799) and said [0559] (8799), This is the interpretation [06623] thereof: The three [07969] baskets [05536] are three [07969] days [03117]:
Gen 40:19 Yet within three [07969] days [03117] shall Pharaoh [06547] lift up [05375] (8799) thy head [07218] from off thee, and shall hang [08518] (8804) thee on a tree [06086]; and the birds [05775] shall eat [0398] (8804) thy flesh [01320] from off thee.
Gen 40:20 And it came to pass the third [07992] day [03117], [which was] Pharaoh's [06547] birthday [03117] [03205] (8715), that he made [06213] (8799) a feast [04960] unto all his servants [05650]: and he lifted up [05375] (8799) the head [07218] of the chief [08269] butler [08248] (8688) and of the chief [08269] baker [0644] (8802) among [08432] his servants [05650].
Gen 40:21 And he restored [07725] [00] the chief [08269] butler [08248] (8688) unto his butlership [04945] again [07725] (8686); and he gave [05414] (8799) the cup [03563] into Pharaoh's [06547] hand [03709]:
Gen 40:22 But he hanged [08518] (8804) the chief [08269] baker [0644] (8802): as Joseph [03130] had interpreted [06622] (8804) to them.
Gen 40:23 Yet did not the chief [08269] butler [08248] (8688) remember [02142] (8804) Joseph [03130], but forgat [07911] (8799) him.
