וַאֲמַר לֵיהּ יוֹסֵף דֵין הוּא פִּתְרוֹנֵיהּ דְחֵלְמָא תְּלְתָא שַׁרְבִטַּיָּא אִנּוּן תְּלָתָא אֲבְהָתֵי עַלְמָא אַבְרָהָם יִצְחָק וְיַעֲקב דְּמִן בְּנֵי בְנֵיהוֹן עֲתִידִין לְמִשְׁתַּעְבְּדָא בְּאַרְעָא דְמִצְרַיִם וַעֲתִידִין לְמִתְפָּרְקָא עַל יְדֵי תְּלָתָא פַּרְנָסִין מְהֵימְנִין וְאִנּוּן מְתִילִין כִּסְגּוֹלַיָיא וְדִי אָמְרַת נְסֵבִית יַת עִינְבַיָּא וַעֲצָרִית יַתְהוֹן בְּכַסָּא דְפַרְעה וִיהָבִית יַת כַּסָּא לְגוֹ כַף יְדוֹהִי דְפַרְעה הוּא כַּסָּא דְפוּרְעָנוּתָא דְּפַרְעה עָתִיד לְמִשְׁתֵּי בְּעִקְּבָא. וְאַתְּ רַב מְזוֹגַיָּא לָא מוֹבְדִין אַגְרָךְ דִּי חֲלַמְתְּ חִלְמָא טָבָא הָדֵין בְּרַם פִּתְרוֹנֵהּ דְחֶלְמָא לָא הֲוָה יוֹסֵף אָמַר לֵהּ יוֹמִין בָּתַר דֵין פָּתַר לֵיה יוֹסֵף הֵיךְ מַה דְּהַוָה שְׁפַר בְּאַפּוֹי וַאֲמַר לֵהּ יוֹסֵף תְּלָתָא שַׁרְבִטַּיָּא תְּלָתָא יוֹמִין אִנוּן:
And Joseph said, This is the interpretations of the dream : The three branches are the three Fathers of the world, Abraham, Izhak, and Jakob the children of whose sons will be enslaved in the land of Mizriam and will be delivered by the band of three faithful pastors, who may be likened to the clusters. And whereas thou hast said, I took the grapes and expressed them into the cup of Pharoh and gave the cup into Pharoh's hand: It is the cup of retribution which Pharoh is to drink at the last. As to thyself, the chief of the butlers, thou wilt not lose thy reward; for this dream which thou hast dreamed is good. Nevertheless the interpretation of the dream (as relating to himself) Joseph had not told him; but afterwards he explained it, when it pleased him. And Joseph said to him, The three branches are three days.
וְהָא תְּלָתָא סַלִין דְרִיפְתָּא קַקְבָּטִין עַל רֵישִׁי:
And, behold, three baskets of hot loaves were upon my head
וַאֲמַר לֵיהּ תְּלַת סַלַיָא אִינוּן תְּלָתָא שִׁיעֲבּוּדַיָא תַּקִיפַיָא דַעֲתִידִין מֵעַרְעָא לְבֵית יִשְרָאֵל בְּאַרְעָא דְמִצְרַיִם בְּטִינַיָא וּבְלִיבְנַיָא וּבְכָל פּוּלְחָנָא דְאַפֵּי בָּרָא עָתִיד פַּרְעה מַלְכָּא דְמִצְרָיִם לְמֶהֱוֵי גְזַר גְזִירִין בִּישָׁן עַל יִשְרָאֵל וּרְמֵי בְנֵיהוֹן בְּנַהֲרָא בְּרַם פַרְעה יוֹבִיד וְחֵילוּתֵיהּ יִשְׁתֵּיצוּן וּבְנֵי יִשְׁרָאֵל יִפְקוּן פְּרִיקִין בְּרֵישׁ גְלֵי. וְאַתְּ רַב נַחְתּוֹמָא תְּקַבֵּל פּוּרְעָנוּת דִי חֲלֵימִית חֵילְמָא בִּישָׁא הָדֵין וּפִתְרוֹנֵי דְחֵילְמָא לָא הֲוָה יוֹסֵף יְדִיעַ לֵיהּ וּמִן בָּתַר כֵּן פָּתַר לֵיהּ יוֹסֵף הֵיךְ מַה שְׁפַר בְּאַפּוֹי וַאֲמַר לֵיהּ יוֹסֵף דֵין הוּא פִּתְרוֹנֵיהּ דְחֵילְמָא תְּלַת סַלַיָא תְּלַת יוֹמִין אִינוּן:
And he said to him, The three baskets are the three heavy enslavements which are to happen to the house of Israel in the land of Mizriam in clay and in bricks, and in all work on the face of the field. It will be that Pharoh kin, of Mizriam will decree evil decrees against Israel and throw their children into the river. Neverthless Pharoh will perish, and his host be destroyed, but the sons of Israel will go forth redeemed with uncovered head. And thou, the chief of the bakers wilt receive punishment; for this dream which thou bast dreamed is evil. But the interpretation of the dream Joseph did not (at once) make known to him; but afterwards Joseph expounded it, When it pleased him. And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of the dream. The three baskets are three days.
שְׁבַק יוֹסֵף חִסְדָא דִלְעֵיל בְּחִסְדָא דִלְרַע וְחִסְדָא דְלָוֵוי יָתֵיהּ מִבַּיְיתֵיהּ דְאָבוֹי וְאִתְרְחַץ בְּרַב מְזוֹגַיָיא בִּבְשַר עָבִיד וּבְשַר טָעַם כַּסָא דְמוֹתָא וְלָא אִידְכַּר כְּתָבָא דְכָתִיב וּמְפָרַשׁ לִיט יֶהֱוֵי גַבְרָא דִי יִתְרָחִיץ בְּבִישְרָא וִישַׁוֵי בִּישְרָא רַחֲצוֹהִי וּבְרִיךְ יֶהֱוֵי גַבְרָא דִי יִתְרָחֵיץ בְּשֵׁם מֵימְרֵיהּ דַיְיָ וִיהֵי מֵימְרֵיהּ דַיְיָ רוֹחֲצָנֵיהּ. מִן בְּגִין כֵּן לָא אִדְכַּר רַב מְזוֹגַיָא יַת יוֹסֵף וְאַנְשֵׁי יָתֵיהּ עַד זְמַן דִמְטָא קִצֵיהּ לְמִתְפַּרְקָא:
Joseph left the mercy above, and the mercy beneath, and the mercy which accompanied him from his father's house, and put his confidence in the chief butler: he trusted in the flesh, and the flesh be tasted of, even the cup of death. Neither did he remember the scripture where it is written expressly, Cursed shall be the man who trusteth in the flesh, and setteth the flesh as his confidence. Blessed shall be the man who trusteth in the Name of the Word of the Lord, and whose confidence is the Word of the Lord. Therefore the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgat him, until the time of the end came that he should be released.
