1 At nangyari, na pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito, na ang katiwala ng saro ng hari sa Egipto at ang kaniyang magtitinapay ay nangagkasala laban sa kanilang panginoon na hari sa Egipto.

2 At naginit si Faraon laban sa kaniyang dalawang tagapamahala, sa puno ng mga katiwala ng saro at sa puno ng mga magtitinapay.

3 At pinagpipiit sa bilangguan, sa bahay ng kapitan ng bantay, sa bilangguang kinabibilangguan ni Jose.

4 At ibinigay ng kapitan ng bantay kay Jose ang pamamahala sa kanila at pinaglingkuran niya sila: at sila'y natirang kaunting panahon sa bilangguan.

5 At ang katiwala at ang magtitinapay ng hari sa Egipto na nangabibilango sa bilangguan, ay kapuwa nanaginip ng kanikaniyang panaginip sa isang gabi, na bawa't isa ayon sa paliwanag ng kanikaniyang panaginip.

6 At pinaroonan sila ni Jose sa kinaumagahan, at sila'y tiningnan, at, narito, sila'y mapanglaw.

7 At kaniyang tinanong ang mga tagapamahala ni Faraon, na mga kasama niya sa bilangguan sa bahay ng kaniyang panginoon, na sinasabi, Bakit kayo'y mapanglaw ngayon?

8 At kanilang sinabi sa kaniya, Kami ay nanaginip ng panaginip, at walang sinomang makapagpaliwanag. At sinabi sa kanila ni Jose, Hindi ba ukol sa Dios ang mga paliwanag? Isinasamo ko sa inyo, na inyong saysayin sa akin.

9 At sinaysay ng puno ng mga katiwala ng saro kay Jose ang kaniyang panaginip, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Sa aking panaginip, narito, ang isang puno ng ubas ay nasa harap ko;

10 At sa puno ng ubas, ay may tatlong sanga: at yao'y pawang sumupling, na namulaklak, at ang mga buwig niyaon, ay nangagtaglay ng mga ubas na hinog.

11 At ang saro ni Faraon ay nasa aking kamay; at kumuha ako ng mga ubas at aking pinagpipiga sa saro ni Faraon, at ibinigay ko ang saro sa kamay ni Faraon.

12 At sinabi ni Jose sa kaniya, Ito ang kapaliwanagan niyaon, ang tatlong sanga ay tatlong araw;

13 Sa loob ng tatlong araw ay ititindig ni Faraon ang iyong ulo, at isasauli ka sa iyong katungkulan: at ibibigay mo ang saro ni Faraon sa kaniyang kamay, na gaya ng karaniwang ginagawa mong dati ng ikaw ay kaniyang katiwala.

14 Datapuwa't alalahanin mo ako kung ikaw ay mapabuti na, at isinasamo ko sa iyo, na pagpakitaan mo ako ng kagandahang loob, at banggitin mo ako kay Faraon, at ako'y alisin mo sa bahay na ito:

15 Sapagka't ako'y tunay na ninakaw sa lupain ng mga Hebreo: at dito naman ay wala akong ginawang anoman, upang ako'y ilagay nila sa bilangguan.

16 Nang makita ng puno ng mga magtitinapay, na mabuti ang kapaliwanagan ay nagsabi kay Jose, Ako'y nanaginip din, at narito, tatlong bakol ng tinapay na mabuti ay nasa ibabaw ng aking ulo:

17 At sa kaibaibabawan ng bakol ay mayroon ng lahat na sarisaring pagkaing niluto para kay Faraon; at kinakain ng mga ibon sa bakol na nasa ibabaw ng aking ulo.

18 At si Jose ay sumagot, at nagsabi, Ito ang kapaliwanagan niyaon; ang tatlong bakol, ay tatlong araw;

19 Sa loob ng tatlo pang araw ay itataas ni Faraon ang iyong ulo, at ibibitin ka sa isang punong kahoy; at kakanin ng mga ibon ang iyong laman.

20 At nangyari nang ikatlong araw, na siyang kapanganakan kay Faraon, na gumawa siya ng isang piging sa lahat ng kaniyang lingkod: at itinindig niya ang ulo ng puno ng mga katiwala ng saro, at ang ulo ng puno ng mga magtitinapay.

21 At ibinalik niya ang puno ng mga katiwala ng saro sa kaniyang pagkakatiwala ng saro; at ibinigay niya ang saro sa kamay ni Faraon:

22 Datapuwa't ang puno ng mga magtitinapay, ay ibinitin sa isang puno ng kahoy: gaya ng ipinaliwanag sa kanila ni Jose.

23 Gayon ma'y hindi na naalaala si Jose ng puno ng mga katiwala ng saro, kundi nalimutan siya.

5077. 'The cupbearer of the king of Egypt' means among the things of the body which are subject to the understanding Part of the mind. This is clear from the meaning of 'the cupbearer' as the external or bodily senses that are subordinate or subject to the understanding part of the internal man, dealt with in what follows below; and from the meaning of 'the king of Egypt' as the natural man, dealt with below in 5079. Since the cupbearer and the baker are the subject of the narrative that follows and these mean the external senses belonging to the body, something must first be said about these. It is well known that the external or bodily senses are five in number - sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch - and also that these constitute the entire life of the body. For without those senses the body has no life at all, for which reason also when deprived of them it dies and becomes a corpse. The actual bodily part of the human being therefore is nothing else than a receiver of sensory impressions and consequently of the life resulting from these. The part played by the senses is the principal one and that by the body the instrumental. The instrumental without its principal which it is fitted to serve cannot even be called the body that a person carries around while living in the world; but the instrumental together with its principal, when they act as one, can be called such. The two together therefore constitute the body.

[2] A person's external senses are directly related to his internal ones, for they have been given to a person and placed within his body to serve his internal man while he is in the world and to exist subject to the sensory powers of that internal man. Consequently when a person's external senses begin to rule his internal ones he is done for. When this happens his internal sensory powers are regarded as no more than servants whose function is to reinforce whatever the external senses imperiously demand. When this is the state in which the external senses operate, order in their case has become turned around, a situation dealt with immediately above in 5076.

[3] A person's external senses are, as stated, directly related to his internal ones, in general to the understanding and to the will. Consequently some external senses are subject or subordinate to the understanding part of the human mind, others are subject to the will part. One sensory power specifically subject to the understanding is sight; another subject to the understanding, and after that to the will also, is hearing. Smell, and more especially taste, are subject to both simultaneously, while the power subject to the will is touch. Much evidence could be introduced to show that the external senses are subject to the understanding and the will, and also to show how they are subject; but it would take up too much space to carry the explanation so far. Something of what is involved may be recognized from what has been shown at the ends of preceding chapters about the correspondence of those senses.

[4] In addition it should be recognized that all truths that are called the truths of faith belong to the understanding part, and that all forms of good which are those of love and charity go with the will part. Consequently it is the function of the understanding to believe, acknowledge, know, and see truth - and good also. But the function of the will is to feel an affection for that truth and to love it; and whatever a person feels an affection for and loves is good. But how the understanding influences the will when truth passes into good, and how the will influences the understanding when it puts that good into effect, are matters for still deeper examination - In the Lord's Divine mercy those matters will be discussed at various points further on.

[5] The reason 'the cupbearer' means the senses subject or subordinate to the understanding Part of the internal man is that everything which serves as drink, or which is consumed as such, for example, wine, milk, or water, is related to truth, which feeds the understanding and so belongs to the understanding. Also, because the external or bodily senses play a ministering role, 'a cupbearer' therefore means those senses or what is perceived by them. For in general 'drinking' has reference to truths which feed the understanding, see 3069, 3071, 3168, 3772, 4017, 4018; the specific meaning of 'wine' is truth deriving from good, or faith from charity, 1071, 1798, while 'water' means truth, 680, 2702, 3058, 3424, 4976. From all this one may now see what 'the cupbearer' means.
