1 Poslije toga peharnik se i pekar egipatskog kralja ogriješe o svoga gospodara, kralja egipatskog.

2 Faraon se razljuti na svoja dva dvoranina, glavnog peharnika i glavnog pekara,

3 te ih stavi u zatvor, u zgradu zapovjednika tjelesne straže - u istu tamnicu gdje je i Josip bio zatvoren.

4 Zapovjednik tjelesne straže odredi Josipa da ih poslužuje. Pošto su proveli u zatvoru neko vrijeme,

5 obojica njih - peharnik i pekar egipatskog kralja, utamničenici - usnu san jedne te iste noći. Svaki je usnuo svoj san; i svaki je san imao svoje značenje.

6 Kad je Josip ujutro došao k njima, opazi da su neraspoloženi.

7 Upita faraonove dvorane koji su bili s njim u zatvoru u zgradi njegova gospodara: "Zašto ste danas tako potišteni?"

8 Odgovore mu: "Sne smo usnuli, ali nikog nema da nam ih protumači." Josip im reče: "Zar tumačenje ne spada na Boga? Dajte, pričajte mi!"

9 Onda je glavni peharnik ispripovjedio Josipu svoj san: "Sanjao sam da je preda mnom lozov trs.

10 Na trsu bile tri mladice. I tek što je propupao, procvjeta i na njegovim grozdovima sazru bobe.

11 Kako sam u ruci držao faraonov pehar, uzmem grožđa, istiještim ga u faraonov pehar, a onda stavim pehar u faraonovu ruku."

12 Josip mu reče: "Ovo ti je značenje: tri mladice tri su dana.

13 Poslije tri dana faraon će te pomilovati i vratiti na tvoje mjesto; opet ćeš stavljati pehar faraonu u ruku, kao i prije, dok si mu bio peharnik.

14 Kada ti bude opet dobro, sjeti se da sam i ja bio s tobom, pa mi učini ovu uslugu: spomeni me faraonu i pokušaj me izvesti iz ove kuće.

15 Jer, zbilja, bio sam silom odveden iz zemlje Hebreja; ni ovdje nisam ništa skrivio, a baciše me u tamnicu."

16 Kad je glavni pekar vidio kako je Josip dao dobro tumačenje, reče mu: "Usnuh da su mi na glavi tri bijele košare.

17 U najgornjoj bilo svakovrsna peciva što ga pekar pripravlja faraonu, ali su ptice jele iz košare povrh moje glave."

18 Josip odgovori: "Ovo je značenje: tri košare tri su dana.

19 Poslije tri dana faraon će uzdići tvoju glavu i o drvo te objesiti te će ptice jesti meso s tebe."

20 I zaista, trećega dana, kad je faraon priredio gozbu za sve svoje službenike - bio mu je rođendan - iz sredine svojih službenika izluči glavnog peharnika i glavnog pekara.

21 Vrati glavnog peharnika u peharničku službu te je i dalje stavljao pehar u faraonovu ruku,

22 a glavnog pekara objesi, kako je Josip protumačio.

23 Ipak se glavni peharnik nije sjetio Josipa - zaboravio je na nj.

4986. Verses 7-9 And it happened after these events, that his lord's wife lifted up her eyes towards Joseph and said, Lie with me. And he refused and said to his lord's wife, Behold, my lord does not concern himself with anything 1 in the house, and all that he has he has given into my hand. He himself is no greater in this house than I am, and he has not held back anything from me except yourself, in that you are his wife. How then shall I do this great evil, and sin against God?

'And it happened after these events' means a third state. 'That his lord's wife lifted up her eyes towards Joseph' means unspiritual natural truth wedded to natural good, and its perception. 'And said, Lie with me' means that it desired a joining together. 'And he refused' means an aversion. 'And he said to his lord's wife' means a perception regarding that truth. 'Behold, my lord does not concern himself with anything in the house' means that natural good did not have even the desire to make anything its own. 'And all that he has he has given into my hand' means that everything was subject to its power and control. 'He himself is no greater in this house than I am' means that that good is prior in respect of time but not of state. 'And he has not held back anything from me except yourself' means that becoming joined to the truth wedded to that good was forbidden. 'In that you are his wife' means because this truth must not be joined to any other good. 'How then shall I do this great evil, and sin against God?' means that, this being so, they exist set apart and not joined together.
