Genesis 40:16-19

16When the chief baker saw that Joseph had given the first dream such a positive interpretation, he said to Joseph, “I had a dream, too. In my dream there were three baskets of white pastries stacked on my head.

17The top basket contained all kinds of pastries for Pharaoh, but the birds came and ate them from the basket on my head.”

18“This is what the dream means,” Joseph told him. “The three baskets also represent three days.

19Three days from now Pharaoh will lift you up and impale your body on a pole. Then birds will come and peck away at your flesh.”
