Genesis 41:9-16
New American Standard Bible
9 Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I would make mention today of (A)my own [a]offenses. 10 Pharaoh was (B)furious with his servants, and (C)he put me in confinement in the house of the captain of the bodyguard, both me and the chief baker. 11 Then (D)we had a dream one night, [b]he and I; each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream. 12 Now a Hebrew youth was there with us, a (E)servant of the captain of the bodyguard, and we told him the dreams, and (F)he interpreted our dreams for us. For each man he interpreted according to his own dream. 13 And just (G)as he interpreted for us, so it happened; Pharaoh restored me in my office, but he hanged [c]the chief baker.”
Joseph Interprets
14 Then Pharaoh sent word and (H)called for Joseph, and they (I)hurriedly brought him out of the dungeon; and when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came to Pharaoh. 15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had a dream, (J)but no one can interpret it; and (K)I have heard [d]it said about you, that [e]when you hear a dream you can interpret it.” 16 Joseph then answered Pharaoh, saying, “[f](L)It has nothing to do with me; (M)God will [g]give Pharaoh an answer for his own good.”
