Genesis 40:16-23

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 1kinds 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 2Pharaoh’sH6547 birthdayH3205H3117, that he heldH6213 a feastH4960 for allH3605 his servantsH5650; 3and 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 4officeH4945, and 5he putH5414 the cupH3563 into Pharaoh’sH6547 6handH3709; 22but 7he hangedH8518 the chiefH8269 bakerH644, justH3512 asH3512 JosephH3130 had interpretedH6622 to them. 23Yet the chiefH8269 cupbearerH4945 did not rememberH2142 JosephH3130, but 8forgotH7911 him.
