A. JOSEPH AND THE STATE PRISONERS

And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of

Egypt and his baker offended their lord the king of Egypt. And Pharaoh

was wroth against his two officers, against the chief of the butlers,

and against the chief of the bakers. And he put them in the house of the

captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he ministered

unto them: and they continued a season in prison.

And they dreamed a dream both of them, 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, which were bound in the prison.

And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and saw them, and, behold,

they were sad. And he asked them, saying, "Wherefore look ye so sadly

to-day?"

And they said unto him, "We have dreamed a dream, and there is none that

can interpret it."

And Joseph said unto them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? tell

it me, I pray you."
