And Pharaoh was angry with his two servants, with the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker;

וַיִּקְצֹ֣ף (וַ) va “and”

And he put them in prison under the care of the captain of the army, in the same prison where Joseph himself was shut up.

וַיִּתֵּ֨ן (וַ) va “and”

And the captain put them in Joseph's care, and he did what was needed for them; and they were kept in prison for some time.

וַ֠יִּפְקֹד (וַ֠) Va “and”וַיְשָׁ֣רֶת (וַ) va “and”וַיִּהְי֥וּ (וַ) va “and”

And these two had a dream on the same night; the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker of the king of Egypt, who were in prison, the two of them had dreams with a special sense.

וַיַּֽחַלְמוּ֩ (וַ) va “and”

And in the morning when Joseph came to them he saw that they were looking sad.

וַיָּבֹ֧א (וַ) va “and”וַיַּ֣רְא (וַ) va “and”

And he said to the servants of Pharaoh who were in prison with him, Why are you looking so sad?

וַיִּשְׁאַ֞ל (וַ) va “and”

Then they said to him, We have had a dream, and no one is able to give us the sense. And Joseph said, Does not the sense of dreams come from God? what was your dream?

וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Then the chief wine-servant gave Joseph an account of his dream, and said, In my dream I saw a vine before me;

וַיְסַפֵּ֧ר (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and crushing them into Pharaoh's cup, gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.

וָאֶקַּ֣ח (וָ) va. “and”וָֽאֶשְׂחַ֤ט (וָֽ) va. “and”וָאֶתֵּ֥ן (וָ) va. “and”

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

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

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.

וַהֲשִֽׁיבְךָ֖ (וַ) va. “and”וְנָתַתָּ֤ (וְ) ve. “and”

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:

וְעָשִֽׂיתָ־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְהִזְכַּרְתַּ֙נִי֙ (וְ) ve. “and”וְהוֹצֵאתַ֖נִי (וְ) ve. “and”

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;

וַיַּ֥רְא (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ (וַ) va “and”

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

וַיַּ֤עַן (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֔אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

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

וְתָלָ֥ה (וְ) ve. “and”וְאָכַ֥ל (וְ) ve. “and”

Now the third day was Pharaoh's birthday, and he gave a feast for all his servants; and he gave honour to the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker among the others.

וַיְהִ֣י׀ (וַ) va “and”וַיַּ֥עַשׂ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשָּׂ֞א (וַ) va “and”

And he put the chief wine-servant back in his old place; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.

וַיָּ֛שֶׁב (וַ) va “and”וַיִּתֵּ֥ן (וַ) va “and”

But the wine-servant did not keep Joseph in mind or give a thought to him.

וַיִּשְׁכָּחֵֽהוּ׃ (וַ) va “and”

Now after two years had gone by, Pharaoh had a dream; and in his dream he was by the side of the Nile;

וַיְהִ֕י (וַ) va “and”

And out of the Nile came seven cows, good-looking and fat, and their food was the river-grass.

וַתִּרְעֶ֖ינָה (וַ) va. “and”

And after them seven other cows came out of the Nile, poor-looking and thin; and they were by the side of the other cows.

וַֽתַּעֲמֹ֛דְנָה (וַֽ) va. “and”

And the seven thin cows made a meal of the seven fat cows. Then Pharaoh came out of his sleep.

וַתֹּאכַ֣לְנָה (וַ) va. “and”וַיִּיקַ֖ץ (וַ) va “and”

But he went to sleep again and had a second dream, in which he saw seven heads of grain, full and good, all on one stem.

וַיִּישָׁ֕ן (וַ) va “and”וַֽיַּחֲלֹ֖ם (וַֽ) va “and”

And the seven thin heads made a meal of the good heads. And when Pharaoh was awake he saw it was a dream.

וַתִּבְלַ֙עְנָה֙ (וַ) va. “and”וַיִּיקַ֥ץ (וַ) va “and”

And in the morning his spirit was troubled; and he sent for all the wise men of Egypt and all the holy men, and put his dream before them, but no one was able to give him the sense of it.

וַיְהִ֤י (וַ) va “and”וַתִּפָּ֣עֶם (וַ) va. “and”וַיִּשְׁלַ֗ח (וַ) va “and”וַיִּקְרָ֛א (וַ) va “and”וַיְסַפֵּ֨ר (וַ) va “and”
