And it came to pass after these things, that the chief cupbearer of the king of Egypt and the chief baker trespassed against their lord, the king of Egypt.

And Pharaoh was angry with his two eunuchs, with his chief cupbearer, and with his chief baker.
3
So he put them in custody, into the prison, into the place where Joseph was confined.

5
And they both had a dream in one night; and the vision of the dream of the chief cupbearer and chief baker, who belonged to the king of Egypt, who were in the prison, was this:
6
Joseph went in to them in the morning, and saw them, and they had been troubled.
7
So he asked the eunuchs of Pharaoh who were with him in the prison with his master, saying, Why is it that you look so sad today?
8
And they said to him, We have seen a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, Is not the interpretation of them with God? Therefore tell them to me.
9
And the chief cupbearer related his dream to Joseph, and said, In my dream a vine was before me.
10
And in the vine were three stems; and its budding shot forth blossoms; the clusters of grapes were ripe.
11
And the cup of Pharaoh was in my hand; and I took the bunch of grapes, and squeezed it into the cup, and gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
12
And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it. The three stems are three days.
13
Yet three days and Pharaoh shall remember your position, and he shall restore you to your place of chief cupbearer, and you shall give Pharaoh's cup into his hand, according to your former high place, as you were his cupbearer.
14
But remember me when it is well with you, and you shall deal mercifully with me, and you shall make mention of me to Pharaoh, and you shall bring me forth out of this dungeon.
15
For surely I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here I have done nothing, but they have cast me into this pit.
16
And the chief baker saw that he interpreted correctly; and he said to Joseph, I also saw a dream, and [in it] I took up on my head three baskets of bread.
17
And in the upper basket there was the work of the baker of every kind [of bread] which Pharaoh eats; and the birds of the air ate them out of the basket that was on my head.
18
And Joseph answered and said to him, This is the interpretation of it; The three baskets are three days.
19
Yet three days, and Pharaoh shall lift up your head from off you, and shall hang you from a tree, and the birds of the sky shall eat your flesh from off of you.
20
And it came to pass on the third day that it was Pharaoh's birthday, and he made a banquet for all his servants, and he remembered the office of the cupbearer and the office of the baker in the midst of his servants.
21
And he restored the chief cupbearer to his office, and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
22
And he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph interpreted to them.
23
Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
Genesis 47:1-31
1
And Joseph came and told Pharaoh, [saying], My father, my brothers, their cattle, their oxen, and all their possessions have come out of the land of Canaan, and behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
2
And he took five men from among his brothers, and set them before Pharaoh.
3
And Pharaoh said to Joseph's brothers, What is your occupation? And they said to Pharaoh, Your servants are shepherds, both we and our father.
4
And they said to Pharaoh, We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for the flocks of your servants, for the famine has prevailed in the land of Canaan. Now then, we will dwell in the land of Goshen. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Let them dwell in the land of Goshen; and if you know that there are among them able men, make them overseers of my cattle. So Jacob and his sons came into Egypt, to Joseph; and Pharaoh, king of Egypt, heard [of it].
5
And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, Your father and your brothers have come to you.
6
Behold, the land of Egypt is before you; settle your father and your brothers in the best land.
7
And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh; and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8
And Pharaoh said to Jacob, How old are you?
9
And Jacob said to Pharaoh, The days of the years of my life, wherein I sojourn, are one hundred and thirty years; few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, they have not attained to the days of the life of my fathers, in which days they sojourned.
10
And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and departed from him.
11
And Joseph settled his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh commanded.
12
And Joseph gave provision to his father, and his brothers, and to all the house of his father, bread for each person.
13
And there was no bread in all the land, for the famine prevailed greatly; and the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted on account of the famine.
14
And Joseph gathered all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and the land of Canaan, [in return for] the grain which they bought, and he distributed grain to them; and Joseph brought all the money into the house of Pharaoh.
15
And all the money failed out of the land of Egypt, and out of the land of Canaan. And all the Egyptians came to Joseph, saying, Give us bread, and why do we die in your presence? For our money is spent.
16
And Joseph said to them, Bring your cattle, and I will give you bread for your cattle, if your money is spent.
17
And they brought their cattle to Joseph; and Joseph gave them bread in return for their horses, and for their sheep, and for their oxen, and for their donkeys; and Joseph maintained them with bread for all their cattle in that year.
18
And that year passed, and they came to him in the second year, and said to him, Must we then be consumed from before our lord? For if our money has failed, and our possessions, and our cattle, [brought] to you our lord, and there has not been left to us before our lord more than our own bodies and our land, [we are indeed destitute].
19
In order then that we die not before you, and the land be made desolate, buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh: give seed that we may sow, and live and not die, so our land shall not be made desolate.
20
And Joseph bought all the land of the Egyptians for Pharaoh, for the Egyptians sold their land to Pharaoh; for the famine prevailed against them, and the land became Pharaoh's.
21
And he brought the people into bondage to him, for servants, from one extremity of Egypt to the other,
22
except for the land of the priests; Joseph did not buy this, for Pharaoh gave a portion in the way of a gift to the priests, and they ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them; therefore they did not sell their land.
23
And Joseph said to all the Egyptians, Behold, I have bought you and your land this day for Pharaoh; take seed for yourselves, and sow the land.
24
And there shall be the fruits of it; and you shall give the fifth part to Pharaoh, and the four [remaining] parts shall be for yourselves, for seed for the earth, and for food for yourselves, and all that are in your houses.
25
And they said, you have saved us; we have found favor before our lord, and we will be servants to Pharaoh.
26
And Joseph appointed it to them for an ordinance until this day; to reserve a fifth part for Pharaoh, of the land of Egypt, except for the land of the priests, that was not Pharaoh's.

30
But I will sleep with my fathers, and you shall carry me up out of Egypt, and bury me in their tomb. And he said, I will do according to your word.
31
And he said, Swear to me; and he swore to him. And Israel bowed down, leaning on the top of his staff.

Joseph is a son increased; my dearly loved son is increased; my youngest son, turn to me.
23
Against whom men taking evil counsel reproached [him], and the archers pressed hard upon him.
24

25
and my God helped you, and He blessed you with the blessing of heaven from above, and the blessing of the earth possessing all things, because of the blessing of the breasts and of the womb,
26
the blessings of your father and your mother- it has prevailed above the blessing of the lasting mountains, and beyond the blessings of the everlasting hills; they shall be upon the head of Joseph, and upon the head of the brothers of whom he took the lead.

5
My father adjured me, saying, In the tomb which I dug for myself in the land of Canaan, there you shall bury me; now then I will go up and bury my father, and return again.
6
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Go up, bury your father, as he made you to swear.
7
So Joseph went up to bury his father; and all the servants of Pharaoh went up with him, and the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt.
8
And all the household of Joseph, and his brothers, and all the house of his father, and his kindred; and they left behind the sheep and the oxen in the land of Goshen.
9
And there went up with him also chariots and horsemen; and there was a very great company.
10
And they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan; and they bewailed him with a great and very sore lamentation; and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
11
And the inhabitants of the land of Canaan saw the mourning at the floor of Atad, and said, This is a great mourning to the Egyptians; therefore he called its name, The Mourning of Egypt, which is beyond the Jordan.
12
And thus his sons did to him.
13
So his sons carried him up into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the double cave which Abraham bought for possession of a burying place from Ephrom the Hittite, before Mamre.
14
And Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brothers, and those that had gone up with him to bury his father.
