Genesis 40:14-23

14Only think of me when it goes well with you, and please show me kindness by mentioning me to Pharaoh and get me out of this house.

15For in fact I was taken (stolen) from the land of the Hebrews by [unlawful] force, and even here I have done nothing for which they should put me in the dungeon.”

16When the chief baker saw that the interpretation [of the dream] was good, he said to Joseph, “I also dreamed, and [in my dream] there were three cake baskets on my head;

17and in the top basket there were some of all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds [of prey] were eating [these foods] out of the basket on my head.”

18Joseph answered, “This is the interpretation of it: the three baskets represent three days;

19within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head and will hang you on a tree (gallows, pole), and [you will not so much as be given a burial, but] the birds will eat your flesh.”

20Now on the third day, [which was] the Pharaoh’s birthday, he [released the two men from prison and] made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker [that is, presented them in public] among his servants.

21He restored the chief cupbearer to his office, and the cupbearer [once again] put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand;

22but Pharaoh hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had interpreted [the meaning of the dreams] to them.

23Yet [even after all that] the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot [all about] him.
