New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Genesis 40
⁴ The captain of the bodyguard put Joseph in charge of them, and he took care of them; and they were in confinement for some time.
⁵ Then the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, who were confined in jail, both had a dream the same night, each man with his own dream and each dream with its own interpretation.
⁶ When Joseph came to them in the morning and observed them, behold, they were dejected.
⁷ He asked Pharaoh’s officials who were with him in confinement in his master’s house, "Why are your faces so sad today?"
⁸ Then they said to him, "We have had a dream and there is no one to interpret it." Then Joseph said to them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell it to me, please."
⁹ So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "In my dream, behold, there was a vine in front of me;
¹⁰ and on the vine were three branches. And as it was budding, its blossoms came out, and its clusters produced ripe grapes.
¹¹ Now Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; so I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand."
¹² Then Joseph said to him, "This is the interpretation of it: 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 Only keep me in mind when it goes well with you, and please do me a kindness by mentioning me to Pharaoh and get me out of this house.
