Genesis 40:14-23

14Remember me when things go well for you, and please do me a favor. Mention me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this prison.

15I was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I’ve done nothing to deserve being put in this prison.”

16The chief baker saw that the meaning Joseph had given to the cupbearer’s dream was good. So he said to Joseph, “I had a dream too. In my dream three baskets of white baked goods were on my head.

17The top basket contained all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.”

18“This is what it means,” Joseph replied. “The three baskets are three days.

19In the next three days Pharaoh will cut off your head and hang your dead body on a pole. The birds will eat the flesh from your bones.”

20Two days later, on his birthday, Pharaoh had a special dinner prepared for all his servants. Of all his servants he gave special attention to the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.

21He restored the chief cupbearer to his position. So the cupbearer put the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.

22But he hung the chief baker just as Joseph had said in his interpretation.

23Nevertheless, the chief cupbearer didn’t remember Joseph. He forgot all about him.
