Genesis 40:9-11
New English Translation
9 So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph:[a] “In my dream, there was a vine in front of me. 10 On the vine there were three branches. As it budded, its blossoms opened and its clusters ripened into grapes. 11 Now Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, so I took the grapes, squeezed them into his[b] cup, and put the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.”[c]
