5226. Verses 9-13 And the chief of the cupbearers spoke to Pharaoh, saying, I remember my sins today. Pharaoh was incensed with his servants, and put me into custody in the house of the chief of the attendants, me and the chief of the bakers. And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each according to the interpretation of his own dream. And a Hebrew boy was there with us, a servant to the chief of the attendants; and we told him, and he interpreted our dreams for us; to each according to his dream he gave the interpretation. And it happened, that as he interpreted to us, so it came about. He restored me to my position, and he hanged him.
