Genesis 40 – Studienbibel

1 And it came to pass after310 these things1697, that the butler8248 of the king4428 of Egypt4714 and his baker644 had offended2398 their lord113 the king4428 of Egypt4714. 2 And Pharaoh6547 was wroth7107 against5921 two8147 of his officers5631, against the chief8269 of the butlers8248, and against the chief8269 of the bakers644. 3 And he put5414 them in ward4929 in the house1004 of the captain8269 of the guard2876, into the prison1004 5470, the place4725 where Joseph3130 was bound631. 4 And the captain8269 of the guard2876 charged6485 Joseph3130 with them, and he served8334 them: and they continued a season3117 in ward4929.

5 And they dreamed2492 a dream2472 both of them8147, each man376 his dream2472 in one259 night3915, each man376 according to the interpretation6623 of his dream2472, the butler8248 and the baker644 of the king4428 of Egypt4714, which were bound631 in the prison1004 5470. 6 And Joseph3130 came in935 unto them in the morning1242, and looked7200 upon them, and, behold, they were sad2196. 7 And he asked7592 Pharaoh's6547 officers5631 that were with him in the ward4929 of his lord's113 house1004, saying559, Wherefore look6440 ye so sadly7451 to day3117?¹ 8 And they said559 unto him, We have dreamed2492 a dream2472, and there is no interpreter6622 of it. And Joseph3130 said559 unto them, Do not interpretations6623 belong to God430? tell me5608 them, I pray you. 9 And the chief8269 butler8248 told5608 his dream2472 to Joseph3130, and said559 to him, In my dream2472, behold, a vine1612 was before me6440; 10 And in the vine1612 were three7969 branches8299: and it was as though it budded6524, and her blossoms5322 shot forth5927; and the clusters811 thereof brought forth ripe1310 grapes6025: 11 And Pharaoh's6547 cup3563 was in my hand3027: and I took3947 the grapes6025, and pressed7818 them into Pharaoh's6547 cup3563, and I gave5414 the cup3563 into Pharaoh's6547 hand3709. 12 And Joseph3130 said559 unto him, This is the interpretation6623 of it: The three7969 branches8299 are three7969 days3117: 13 Yet5750 within three7969 days3117 shall Pharaoh6547 lift up5375 thine head7218, and restore7725 thee unto thy place3653: and thou shalt deliver5414 Pharaoh's6547 cup3563 into his hand3027, after the former7223 manner4941 when thou wast his butler8248.² 14 But think2142 on me when it shall be well3190 with thee, and shew6213 kindness2617, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention2142 of me unto Pharaoh6547, and bring me3318 out of this house1004:³ 15 For indeed I was stolen away1589 out of the land776 of the Hebrews5680: and here also have I done6213 nothing3972 that they should put7760 me into the dungeon953. 16 When the chief8269 baker644 saw7200 that the interpretation6622 was good2896, he said559 unto Joseph3130, I also637 was in my dream2472, and, behold, I had three7969 white2751 baskets5536 on my head7218:⁴ 17 And in the uppermost5945 basket5536 there was of all manner3978 of bakemeats4639 644 for Pharaoh6547; and the birds5775 did eat398 them out of the basket5536 upon5921 my head7218.⁵ 18 And Joseph3130 answered6030 and said559, This is the interpretation6623 thereof: The three7969 baskets5536 are three7969 days3117: 19 Yet within three7969 days3117 shall Pharaoh6547 lift up5375 thy head7218 from off thee, and shall hang8518 thee on a tree6086; and the birds5775 shall eat398 thy flesh1320 from off thee.⁶

20 And it came to pass the third7992 day3117, which was Pharaoh's6547 birthday3117 3205, that he made6213 a feast4960 unto all his servants5650: and he lifted up5375 the head7218 of the chief8269 butler8248 and of the chief8269 baker644 among8432 his servants5650.⁷ 21 And he restored7725 the chief8269 butler8248 unto his butlership4945 again7725; and he gave5414 the cup3563 into Pharaoh's6547 hand3709: 22 But he hanged8518 the chief8269 baker644: as Joseph3130 had interpreted6622 to them. 23 Yet did not the chief8269 butler8248 remember2142 Joseph3130, but forgat7911 him.
