They both dreamed a dream, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.

He asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, saying, "Why do you look so sad today?"

Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head, and restore you to your office. You will give Pharaoh's cup into his hand, the way you did when you were his butler.

It happened the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

He restored the chief butler to his butlership again, and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand;

It happened in the morning that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men of it. Pharaoh told them his dream, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.

Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker.

Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the spirit of God?"

Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck,

Joseph saw his brothers, and he recognized them, but acted like a stranger to them, and spoke roughly with them. He said to them, "Where did you come from?" They said, "From the land of Canaan to buy food."

Joseph recognized his brothers, but they didn't recognize him.
