¹² Now there was a young ^(A)Hebrew man with us there, a ^(B)servant of the captain of the guard. And we told him, and he ^(C)interpreted our dreams for us; to each man he interpreted according to his own dream.

¹² And Joseph said to him, ^(A)“This is the interpretation of it: The three branches ^(B)are three days. ¹³ Now within three days Pharaoh will ^(C)lift up your head and restore you to your ^[a]place, and you will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand according to the former manner, when you were his butler. ¹⁴ But ^(D)remember me when it is well with you, and ^(E)please show kindness to me; make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house. ¹⁵ For indeed I was ^(F)stolen away from the land of the Hebrews; ^(G)and also I have done nothing here that they should put me into the dungeon.”

¹⁶ When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, “I also was in my dream, and there were three ^[b]white baskets on my head. ¹⁷ In the uppermost basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.”

¹⁸ So Joseph answered and said, ^(H)“This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days. ^19 (I)Within three days Pharaoh will lift ^[c]off your head from you and ^(J)hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from you.”

³⁶ Now ^(A)the ^[a]Midianites had sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard.

²⁰ Then Joseph’s master took him and ^(A)put him into the ^(B)prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison.

Joseph a Slave in Egypt

39 Now Joseph had been taken ^(A)down to Egypt. And ^(B)Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, ^(C)bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him down there.
