But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
But please remember me when things go well for you, and show me kindness. I'm asking you to mention me to Pharaoh and help get me out of this prison.
Joseph is asking the chief cupbearer to remember him and help secure his freedom from prison when the cupbearer is restored to his position.
📚 Historical Context
In the biblical narrative of Genesis, Joseph had been sold into slavery by his brothers and later imprisoned in Egypt after being falsely accused by Potiphar's wife. While in prison, he interpreted the dreams of Pharaoh's cupbearer and baker, correctly predicting that the cupbearer would be restored to his position. Joseph then made this plea to the cupbearer, asking him to remember and advocate for Joseph's release once the cupbearer regained favor with Pharaoh.
