16 When the head chef heard that the interpretation was good, he told Joseph, |I was also in my dream. All of a sudden, there were three baskets with white bread stacked on top of my head. 17 There was all kinds of food in the basket that was on top, including baked food for Pharaoh. The birds were eating them from the basket on my head.| 18 Joseph replied, |This is what your dream means: The three baskets are also three days. 19 Within three more days, Pharaoh will behead you and hang you on gallows, where birds will eat your flesh from you.| 20 On the third day, which just happened to be Pharaoh's birthday, he threw a party for all his servants. He lifted the head of both his senior security advisor and of his head chef in front of his servants— 21 that is, he restored his senior security advisor to his former responsibilities, including attending to Pharaoh's personal wine cup, 22 but he beheaded and hanged the head chef, just as Joseph had interpreted for them. 23 Despite all of this, the senior security advisor not only didn't remember Joseph, he deliberately forgot him.
