Genesis 40:16-23 ▼

16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, |I also appeared in my dream, and look, three baskets of white bread were on my head.

17 In the top basket there was all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.|

18 Joseph answered, |This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days.

19 Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head from off you, and impale you on a pole, and the birds will eat your flesh off you.|

20 And it happened on the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, that he gave a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

21 He restored the chief cupbearer to his position again, and he placed the cup into Pharaoh’s hand;

22 but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

23 But the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
