6And Ioseph came in vnto them in the morning, and looked vpon them, and behold, they were sad. 7And he asked Pharaohs officers that were with him in the warde of his lords house, saying, wherefore looke ye so sadly to day? 8And they said vnto him, we haue dreamed a dreame, and there is no interpreter of it. And Ioseph said vnto them, Doe not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you. 9And the chiefe Butler tolde his dreame to Ioseph, and said to him; In my dreame, beholde, a vine was before mee: 10And in the vine were three branches, and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot foorth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes.
