Joseph interprets the cupbearer's and baker's dreams (Genesis 40) read aloud, in a fresh direct translation from the Hebrew - plain modern English, nothing added.

Translator's notes:

• Genesis 40:16 — סַלֵּי חֹרִי (sallei hori): chose "baskets of white bread". Alternatives: "wicker baskets"; "pierced baskets". Why: hori is rare and disputed; the next verse describes baked food in the top basket, which fits the white-bread reading.
