Genesis 39:13  Genesis 40:14

13 And when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside,

14 She called to the men of her house and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew man to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I called out with a loud voice;

15 And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and called out, he left his garment beside me, and fled and went outside.

16 And she placed his garment beside her until his master came home.

17 And she spoke to him with these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me.

18 And when I lifted up my voice and called out, he left his garment beside me and fled outside.

19 And when his master heard the words of his wife that she had spoken to him, saying, This is the way your servant treated me; his anger burned.

20 And Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while he was there in the prison,

21 Jehovah was with Joseph; and He extended kindness to him and gave him favor in the sight of the chief jailer.

22 And the chief jailer put in Joseph’s charge all the prisoners who were in the prison; and whatever was done there, he was the one to do it.

23 The chief jailer did not supervise anything that was in his charge, because Jehovah was with him; and whatever he did, Jehovah caused it to prosper.

 

CHAPTER 40

1 And after these things, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt.

2 And Pharaoh was angry with his two officials, the chief of the cupbearers and the chief of the bakers.

3 And he put them in custody at the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison, the place where Joseph was confined.

4 And the captain of the guard put Joseph in charge of them, and he ministered to them; and they were in custody for some time.

5 And the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, both of them had a dream, each man with his own dream in one night, and each dream with its own interpretation.

6 And Joseph came to them in the morning and looked at them, and they were troubled.

7 And he asked Pharaoh’s officials, who were with him in custody in his master’s house, saying, Why are your faces so sad today?

8 And they said to him, We have had a dream, and there is no one to interpret it. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me.

9 And the chief of the cupbearers told his dream to Joseph and said to him, In my dream there was a vine before me,

10 And on the vine were three branches. And as soon as it budded, its blossoms came out, and its clusters ripened into grapes.

11 And Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I put the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.

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

13 Within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office, and you will put Pharaoh’s cup into his hand according to your former custom when you were his cupbearer.

14 But remember my being with you when it is well with you, and please do me a kindness and make mention of me to Pharaoh and so have me brought out of this house.
