14 But thynke on me when thou art in good case, and shewe mercy I praye thee vnto me, and make mention of me to Pharao, & bring me out of this house: 15 For I was priuily by stealth taken away out of the lande of the Hebrewes: and here also haue I done nothyng at all wherfore they shoulde haue put me into this dungeon. 16 When the chiefe baker sawe that the interpretatio was good, he sayd vnto Ioseph: me thought also in my dreame that I had three whyte wycker baskettes on my head, 17 And in the vppermost basket there was of all maner bake meates for Pharao, and the birdes dyd eate them out of the basket that was vpon my head. 18 And Ioseph aunswered and saide: this is the interpretation thereof. The three baskettes, are three dayes: 19 (40:18) For within three dayes shall Pharao take thy head from thee, and shall hang thee on a tree, and the birdes shall eate thy fleshe from of thee. 20 (40:19) And it came to passe the thirde day, which was Pharaos birth day, that he made a feast vnto all his seruauntes: and he lyfted vp the head of the chiefe butler, and of the chiefe baker among his seruauntes: 21 (40:20) And restored the chiefe butler vnto his butlership agayne, whiche also reached the cuppe into Pharaos hande. 22 (40:21) But he hanged the chiefe baker, euen as Ioseph had interpreted vnto him. 23 (40:22) Neither dyd the chiefe butler remember Ioseph, but forgat hym.
