'Butler' in the Bible

Now some time later, the cupbearer (butler) and the baker for the king of Egypt offended their lord, Egypt’s king.

Then the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, both dreamed a dream in the same night, each man with his [own significant] dream and each dream with its [personal] interpretation.

So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “In my dream there was a grapevine in front of me;

within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head (present you in public) and restore you to your position; and you will [again] put Pharaoh’s cup into his hand just as [you did] when you were his cupbearer.

Now on the third day, [which was] the Pharaoh’s birthday, he [released the two men from prison and] made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker [that is, presented them in public] among his servants.

He restored the chief cupbearer to his office, and the cupbearer [once again] put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand;

Yet [even after all that] the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot [all about] him.

Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I would mention my faults today.

And just as he interpreted [the dreams] for us, so it happened; I was restored to my office [as chief cupbearer], and the baker was hanged.”
