^40:5¶ And they dreamed a dreame both of them, each man his dreame in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dreame, the Butler and the Baker of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the prison.

^40:6And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad.

^40:6And Ioseph came in vnto them in the morning, and looked vpon them, and behold, they were sad.

^40:7And 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?

^40:7And he asked Pharaohs officers that were with him in the warde of his lords house, saying, wherefore ^†looke ye so sadly to day?

^40:8And they said vnto him, we haue dreamed a dreame, and there is no interpreter of it. And Ioseph said vnto them, Doe not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.

^40:9And the chiefe Butler tolde his dreame to Ioseph, and said to him; In my dreame, beholde, a vine was before mee:

^40:10And 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:

^40:11And Pharaohs cup was in my hand, and I tooke the grapes and pressed them into Pharaohs cup: and I gaue the cup into Pharaohs hand.

^40:12And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:

^40:12And Ioseph said vnto him, This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three dayes,

^40:13Yet 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.

^40:13Yet within three dayes shall Pharaoh ^‖lift vp thine head, and restore thee vnto thy place, and thou shalt deliuer Pharaohs cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his Butler.

^40:14But ^†thinke on me, when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindenesse, I pray thee, vnto mee, and make mention of me vnto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.

^40:15For 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.

^40:15For indeed I was stollen away out of the land of the Hebrewes: and here also haue I done nothing, that they should put me into the dungeon.

^40:16When the chiefe Baker saw, that the interpretation was good, he said vnto Ioseph, I also was in my dreame, and behold, I had three ^‖white baskets on my head.

^40:17And 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.

^40:17And in the vppermost basket there was of all maner of ^†bake-meats for Pharaoh, and the birds did eat them out of the basket vpon my head.

^40:18And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:

^40:18And Ioseph answered, and said, Th is is the interpretation thereof: the three baskets are three dayes:

^40:19Yet 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.

^40:19Yet within three dayes shall Pharaoh ^‖lift vp thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree, and the birds shall eate thy flesh from off thee.

^40:23Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.

^40:23Yet did not the chiefe Butler remember Ioseph, but forgate him.
