Genesis 40:14-23
14OnlyH3588H518 1keepH2142 me in mind whenH3512 it goesH3190 wellH3190 for you, and pleaseH4994 2doH6213 me a kindnessH2617 3by mentioningH2142 me to PharaohH6547, and getH3318 me outH3318 of thisH2088 4prisonH1004. 15For 5I was inH1589 factH1589 kidnappedH1589 from the landH776 of the HebrewsH5680, and evenH1571 hereH6311 I have doneH6213 nothingH3808H3972 that they should have putH7760 me into the 6dungeonH953.”
16When the chiefH8269 bakerH644 sawH7200 that he had interpretedH6622 favorablyH2896, he saidH559 to JosephH3130, “I alsoH637 saw in my dreamH2472, and beholdH2009, there were threeH7969 basketsH5536 of whiteH2751 breadH2751 on my headH7218; 17and in the topH5945 basketH5536 there were someH4480 of allH3605 7kinds of bakedH644 foodH3978 for PharaohH6547, and the birdsH5775 were eatingH398 them out of the basketH5536 on my headH7218.” 18Then JosephH3130 answeredH6030 and saidH559, “ThisH2088 is its interpretationH6623: the threeH7969 basketsH5536 are threeH7969 daysH3117; 19within threeH7969 moreH5750 daysH3117 PharaohH6547 will liftH5375 upH5375 your headH7218 from you and will hangH8518 you on a woodenH6086 post, and the birdsH5775 will eatH398 your fleshH1320 offH4480H5921 you.”
20So it cameH1961 aboutH1961 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, which was 8Pharaoh’sH6547 birthdayH3205H3117, that he heldH6213 a feastH4960 for allH3605 his servantsH5650; 9and he liftedH5375 upH5375 the headH7218 of the chiefH8269 cupbearerH4945 and the headH7218 of the chiefH8269 bakerH644 amongH8432 his servantsH5650. 21He restoredH7725 the chiefH8269 cupbearerH4945 to his 10officeH4945, and 11he putH5414 the cupH3563 into Pharaoh’sH6547 12handH3709; 22but 13he hangedH8518 the chiefH8269 bakerH644, justH3512 asH3512 JosephH3130 had interpretedH6622 to them. 23Yet the chiefH8269 cupbearerH4945 did not rememberH2142 JosephH3130, but 14forgotH7911 him.
