¹² And there was with us a young Hebrew, the captain's servant, and when we put our dreams before him, he gave us the sense of them.

³⁶ And in Egypt the men of Midian gave him for a price to Potiphar, a captain of high position in Pharaoh's house.

¹² Then Joseph said, This is the sense of your dream: the three branches are three days;

¹³ After three days Pharaoh will give you honour, and put you back into your place, and you will give him his cup as you did before, when you were his wine-servant.

¹⁴ But keep me in mind when things go well for you, and be good to me and say a good word for me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison:

¹⁵ For truly I was taken by force from the land of the Hebrews; and I have done nothing for which I might be put in prison.

¹⁶ Now when the chief bread-maker saw that the first dream had a good sense, he said to Joseph, I had a dream; and in my dream there were three baskets of white bread on my head;

¹⁷ And in the top basket were all sorts of cooked meats for Pharaoh; and the birds were taking them out of the baskets on my head.

¹⁸ Then Joseph said, This is the sense of your dream: the three baskets are three days;

¹⁹ After three days Pharaoh will take you out of prison, hanging you on a tree, so that your flesh will be food for birds.

¹ Now Joseph was taken down to Egypt; and Potiphar the Egyptian, a captain of high position in Pharaoh's house, got him for a price from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.

²⁰ And Joseph's master took him and put him in prison, in the place where the king's prisoners were kept in chains, and he was there in the prison-house.
