Then the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "Behold, in my dream a vine was before me,
10

11
Then Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand."
12
And Joseph said to him, "This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days.
13
Now within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your place, and you will put Pharaoh's cup in his hand according to the former manner, when you were his butler.
14
But remember me when it is well with you, and please show kindness to me; make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house.

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."

So Joseph answered and said, "This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days.
