¹And it happened after these words, that the butler of the king of Egypt and the cook sinned against their lord, the king of Egypt.

²And Pharaoh was angry at his two officials, at the chief of the butlers and at the chief of the cooks.

³And he put them under guard in the house of the chief of the butchers, into the house of the dungeon, the place where Joseph was bound there.

⁴And the chief of the butchers appointed Joseph to be with them, and he served them; and they were some days under guard.

⁵They dreamed a dream, the two of them, each man his own dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the cook who belonged to the king of Egypt, who were bound in the house of the dungeon.

⁶And Joseph came to them in the morning, and saw them, and look, they were dejected.

⁷He asked the officials of Pharaoh, who were with him in custody in the house of his lord, saying: Why are your faces sad today?

⁸They said to him: We dreamed a dream, and there is no one to open up it. Joseph said to them: Do interpretations not belong to God? Tell it to me, please.

⁹The chief of the butlers recounted his dream to Joseph, and said to him: In my dream, look, a vine was before me;

¹⁰and on the vine were three branches; and as for it, as it budded, its blossom went up, and its clusters ripened into grapes.

¹¹And the cup of Pharaoh was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and squeezed them into the cup of Pharaoh, and set the cup on the palm of Pharaoh.

¹²And Joseph said to him: This is its interpretation: the three branches, they are three days.

¹³In three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head, and will restore you to your office; and you will put the cup of Pharaoh in his hand, according to the former justice, when you were his butler.

¹⁴But remember me with you, when it goes well for you, and do loyal love with me, please; and mention me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.

¹⁵For I was surely stolen away from the land of the Eberites; and here too I have not done anything, that they have put me in the pit.

¹⁶The chief of the cooks saw that he had opened up well, and said to Joseph: I also, in my dream, look, three baskets of white bread were on my head;

¹⁷and in the upper basket was some of all the food of Pharaoh, the work of a cook; and the birds were eating them from the basket, from on my head.

¹⁸Joseph answered and said: This is its interpretation: the three baskets, they are three days.

¹⁹In three more days, Pharaoh 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.

²⁰And it happened on the third day, the day of Pharaoh's being born, that he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief of the butlers and the head of the chief of the cooks among his servants.

²¹He restored the chief of the butlers to his butlership, and he put the cup on the palm of Pharaoh.

²²But the chief of the cooks he hanged, just as Joseph had opened up for them.

²³And the chief of the butlers did not remember Joseph, and he forgot him.
