Genesis 40 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Joseph Interprets a Dream

Gen 40:1It happened after these things, that the butler of the king of Mitzrayim and his baker offended their lord, the king of Mitzrayim.

Gen 40:2

Gen 40:2Par`oh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.

Gen 40:3

Gen 40:3He put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Yosef was bound.

Gen 40:4

Gen 40:4The captain of the guard assigned them to Yosef, and he took care of them. They stayed in prison many days.

Gen 40:5

Gen 40:5They both dreamed a dream, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Mitzrayim, who were bound in the prison.

Gen 40:6

Gen 40:6Yosef came in to them in the morning, and saw them, and saw that they were sad.

Gen 40:7

Gen 40:7He asked Par`oh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, saying, "Why do you look so sad today?"

Gen 40:8

Gen 40:8They said to him, "We have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it." Yosef said to them, "Don't interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me."

Gen 40:9

Gen 40:9The chief cupbearer told his dream to Yosef, and said to him, "In my dream, behold, a vine was in front of me,

Gen 40:10

Gen 40:10and in the vine were three branches. It was as though it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters of it brought forth ripe grapes.

Gen 40:11

Gen 40:11Par`oh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Par`oh's cup, and I gave the cup into Par`oh's hand."

Gen 40:12

Gen 40:12Yosef said to him, "This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days.

Gen 40:13

Gen 40:13Within three more days, Par`oh will lift up your head, and restore you to your office. You will give Par`oh's cup into his hand, the way you did when you were his cupbearer.

Gen 40:14

Gen 40:14But remember me when it will be well with you, and show kindness, please, to me, and make mention of me to Par`oh, and bring me out of this house.

Gen 40:15

Gen 40:15For indeed, I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon."

Gen 40:16

Gen 40:16When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Yosef, "I also was in my dream, and, behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head.

Gen 40:17

Gen 40:17In the uppermost basket there was all kinds of baked food for Par`oh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head."

Gen 40:18

Gen 40:18Yosef answered, "This is the interpretation of it. The three baskets are three days.

Gen 40:19

Gen 40:19Within three more days, Par`oh will lift up your head from off you, and will hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from off you."

Gen 40:20

Gen 40:20It happened the third day, which was Par`oh's birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

Gen 40:21

Gen 40:21He restored the chief cupbearer to his position again, and he gave the cup into Par`oh's hand;

Gen 40:22

Gen 40:22but he hanged the chief baker, as Yosef had interpreted to them.

Gen 40:23

Gen 40:23Yet the chief cupbearer didn't remember Yosef, but forgot him.
