They said to him, “We have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it.” Dan 2:47Gen 41:15-16Dan 2:281Co 12:10-11Amo 3:7Isa 8:19Dan 2:11Dan 4:8
Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me.”
The chief cup bearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “In my dream, behold, a vine was in front of me, Dan 2:31Dan 4:10-18Dan 4:8Gen 37:5-10Jdg 7:13-15 and in the vine were three branches. It was as though it budded, it blossomed, and its clusters produced ripe grapes. 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.” Neh 1:111Ki 10:52Ch 9:4Gen 40:21Gen 49:11Lev 10:9Pro 3:10
Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.

Please show kindness to me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house. Jos 2:121Sa 20:14-15Luk 23:421Ki 2:71Sa 25:312Sa 9:11Co 7:21 For indeed, I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.” 1Pe 3:17-18Gen 39:201Sa 24:111Ti 1:10Act 24:12-21Act 25:10-11Dan 6:22Deu 24:7
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, “I also was in my dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head. Gen 40:1-2 In the uppermost basket there were all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.” Gen 49:201Ch 12:20
Joseph answered, “This is its interpretation. The three baskets are three days. Gen 40:121Co 10:41Co 11:24Gen 41:26 Within 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.” Gen 40:13Gen 40:221Sa 17:441Sa 17:462Sa 21:102Sa 21:6Act 20:27Deu 21:22-23 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 cup bearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
