Genesis 40:16-23 ▼

16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, “I also had a dream: there were three cake baskets on my head,

17 and in the uppermost basket there were all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating it out of the basket on my head.”

18 And Joseph answered, “This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days;

19 within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head—from you!—and hang you on a pole; and the birds will eat the flesh from you.”

20 On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he made a feast for all his servants, and 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 cupbearing, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand;

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

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