01:040:014 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:
01:040:015 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.
01:040:016 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:
01:040:017 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.
01:040:018 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation
thereof: The three baskets are three days:
01:040:019 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.
01:040:020 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.
01:040:021 And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again;
and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
01:040:022 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to
them.
01:040:023 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat
him.
01:041:001 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that
Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
01:041:002 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well
favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
01:041:003 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the
river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon
the brink of the river.
01:041:004 And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the
seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
01:041:005 And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven
ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
01:041:006 And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind
sprung up after them.
01:041:007 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full
ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
01:041:008 And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was
troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and
all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there
was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.
01:041:009 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do
remember my faults this day:
01:041:010 Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in
the captain of the guard's house, both me and the chief baker:
01:041:011 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed
each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
