  1. [Genesis 40:1-23 KJV*]

  1. 1 And it came to pass after these things, [h4945]a cupbearer of the king of Egypt and a baker[h644] had [h2398]sinned against their lord the king of Egypt.
  2. 2 And Pharaoh was angered by two [of] his chamberlains, by the chief of the cupbearers, and by the chief of the bakers.
  3. 3 And he gave Aleph/Tav{/Mem} them to the [h4929]guard house of the chief of [h2876]the executioners, into the house [h5470]of the Sohar, place which Joseph [h631]confined there.
  4. 4 And the chief of [h2876]the executioners assigned Joseph Aleph/Tav{/Mem} them, [h8334]and he ministered Aleph/Tav{/Mem} them: and they were in guard for days.
  5. 5 And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, [h4945]the cupbearer  and the baker which to the king of Egypt, which [h631]confined in the house [h5470]of the Sohar.
  6. 6 And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked Aleph/Tav{/Mem} them, and, behold, [h2196]they were dejected.
  7. 7 And he asked Aleph/Tav–chamberlains of Pharaoh that [were with] Aleph/Tav{/Mem} him [h4929]in the guard of his lord's house, saying, why your faces evil today?
  8. 8 And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and no interpreter of Aleph/Tav{/Mem} him. And Joseph said unto them, not interpretations to Alahym? Please tell me.
  9. 9 And the chief butler told Aleph/Tav–his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine[h1612] to my face;
  10. 10 And in the vine three branches[h8299]: and she as though she budded, her blossoms came up; and her clusters ripened into grapes:
  11. 11 And Pharaoh's cup in my hand: and I took Aleph/Tav–the grapes, and pressed Aleph/Tav{/Mem} them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave Aleph/Tav–the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
  12. 12 And Joseph said unto him, This [is] the interpretation of it: The three branches they three days:
  13. 13 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up Aleph/Tav–your head, and return you unto your place: and you shall give Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when you were his cupbearer.
  14. 14 But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
  15. 15 For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
  16. 16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also in my dream, and, behold, three white baskets on my head:
  17. 17 And in [h5945]the most high basket of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.
  18. 18 And Joseph answered and said, This [is] the interpretation thereof: The three baskets [are] three days:
  19. 19 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
  20. 20 And it came to pass the third day, [which was] Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.
  21. 21 And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
  22. 22 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
  23. 23 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.

  1. [Revelation 19:11-19 KJV] 11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him [was] called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on his head [were] many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13 And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies [which were] in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. 17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all [men, both] free and bond, both small and great. 19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
