The butler and the baker
And after a while the king of Egypt's cupbearer and his baker got on the wrong side of their master, the king of Egypt. And Pharaoh was filthy on two of his officers, the head cupbearer and the head baker. And he put them in custody in the house of the head of the guard, in the prison, the place where Joseph was held. And the head of the guard put Joseph in charge of them, and he looked after them. And they were in custody a good while. And the two of them had a dream — each man his own dream on the one night, and each dream with its own meaning — the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt who were held in the prison. And Joseph came in to them in the morning and had a look at them, and they were down in the mouth. And he asked Pharaoh's officers who were in custody with him in his master's house: Why do you look so sad today? And they said: We've had a dream, and there's nobody to tell us what it means. And Joseph said: Doesn't the meaning belong to God? Tell us about it. And the head cupbearer told Joseph his dream: In my dream there was a vine in front of me. And on the vine were three branches. And it was like it budded, and the blossom came out, and the bunches on it ripened into grapes. And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand. And I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup, and put the cup into Pharaoh's hand. And Joseph said to him: Here's what it means. The three branches are three days. Inside three days Pharaoh will lift your head up and put you back in your job. And you'll hand Pharaoh his cup the way you used to when you were his cupbearer. But think of me when things come good for you, and do me a kindness. Put in a word for me with Pharaoh and get me out of this place. Because I was taken out of the land of the Hebrews, and I've done nothing here either that they should put me in a hole like this. When the head baker saw the meaning was a good one, he said to Joseph: I was in my dream too. And there were three white baskets on my head. And in the top basket there was every kind of baking for Pharaoh. And the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head. And Joseph answered: Here's what it means. The three baskets are three days. Inside three days Pharaoh will lift your head off you and hang you on a tree. And the birds will eat the flesh off you. And on the third day, Pharaoh's birthday, he held a feast for all his servants. And he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the chief baker among his servants. And he put the head cupbearer back in his job, and he handed Pharaoh the cup. But he hanged the head baker, the way Joseph had told them. But the head cupbearer never gave Joseph another thought. He forgot all about him.
And after these things the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had done wrong against their lord, the king of Egypt. And Pharaoh was angry with two of his officers, with the chief butler and the chief baker. And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison, the place where Joseph was tied up. And the captain of the guard set Joseph over them, and he served them. And they were in ward a while. And they each dreamed a dream in one night, each man his dream with its meaning — the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were tied up in the prison. And Joseph came in to them in the morning and looked at them. And there they were, sad. And he asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in ward in his lord's house: Why do you look so sad today? And they said to him: We've dreamed a dream, and there's nobody to explain it. And Joseph said to them: Don't meanings belong to God? Tell me them, please. And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph: In my dream, look — a vine was in front of me. And on the vine were three branches. And it was as if it budded, and its blossoms shot out, and its clusters brought out ripe grapes. And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand. And I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand. And Joseph said to him: This is what it means. The three branches are three days. In three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head and put you back in your place. And you'll give Pharaoh's cup into his hand, the way you did before when you were his butler. But think about me when it goes well with you. And show kindness to me, please, and mention me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house. Because I was definitely stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews. And here too I've done nothing that they should put me into the pit. When the chief baker saw the meaning was good, he said to Joseph: I was in my dream too. And look — I had three white baskets on my head. And in the top basket there were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh. And the birds ate them out of the basket on my head. And Joseph answered: This is what it means. The three baskets are three days. In three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head off you and hang you on a tree. And the birds will eat your flesh off you. And on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, he made a feast for all his servants. And he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants. And he put the chief butler back to his butlership again, and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand. But he hanged the chief baker, the way Joseph had explained to them. But the chief butler didn't remember Joseph. He forgot him.
And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt. And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers. And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound. And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward. And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the prison. And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad. And he asked Pharaoh’s officers that were with him in the ward of his lord’s house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day? And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you. And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me; And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes: And Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand. And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days: Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler. But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house: For 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. When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head: And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head. And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days: Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee. And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants. And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand: But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them. Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
