Genesis 40:14-23

14But have me in thy remembranceH2142 when it shall be wellH3190 with thee, and show kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and makeH6213 mention of me unto PharaohH6547, and bringH3318 me out of this houseH1004: 15for indeed I was stolenH1589 away out of the landH776 of the HebrewsH5680: and hereH6311 alsoH1571 have I done nothing that they should putH7760 me into the dungeon.

16When the chiefH7218 bakerH644 sawH7200 that the interpretation was goodH2896, he saidH559 unto JosephH3130, I alsoH637 was in my dreamH2472, and, behold, threeH7969 basketsH5536 of white bread were on my headH7218: 17and in the uppermost basketH5536 there was of all manner of bakedH644 foodH3978 for PharaohH6547; and the birdsH5775 did eatH398 them out of the basketH5536 upon my headH7218. 18And JosephH3130 answered and saidH559, This is the interpretationH6623 thereof: the threeH7969 basketsH5536 are threeH7969 daysH3117; 19within yetH5750 threeH7969 daysH3117 shall PharaohH6547 liftH5375 up thy headH7218 from off thee, and shall hangH8518 thee on a treeH6086; and the birdsH5775 shall eatH398 thy fleshH1320 from off thee. 20And it came to pass the thirdH7992 dayH3117, which wasH1961 Pharaoh’s birthday, that he madeH6213 a feastH4960 unto all his servantsH5650: and he liftedH5375 up the headH7218 of the chiefH7218 butler and the headH7218 of the chiefH7218 bakerH644 among his servantsH5650. 21And he restoredH7725 the chiefH8269 butler unto his butlership again; and he gaveH5414 the cupH3563 into Pharaoh’s handH3709: 22but he hangedH8518 the chiefH8269 bakerH644: as JosephH3130 had interpretedH6622 to them. 23Yet did not the chiefH8269 butler rememberH2142 JosephH3130, but forgat him.
