English: “And Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand” — Rava said: why the three cups spoken of regarding Mitzrayim? One that she drank in the days of Moshe, one that she drank in the days of Pharaoh Necho, and one that she is destined to drink.
On the daf / in context: The cup motif is expanded into the long arc of Egypt’s judgments across history.
Type of Learning
Derash on the verse (Bavli sugya) — not a formal named middah of the 13. Repeated “cup” language is counted and assigned to historical moments.
What Is Learned
Egypt’s “cups” mark past and future judgments; the butler’s dream participates in that pattern.
