Genesis 40:16-19

16When the chiefH8269 bakerH644 sawH7200 that the interpretationH6622 was goodH2896, he saidH559 unto JosephH3130, I alsoH637 was in my dreamH2472, and, behold, I had threeH7969 whiteH2751 basketsH5536 on my headH7218:1

17And in the uppermostH5945 basketH5536 there was of all mannerH3978 of bakemeatsH644 H4639 for PharaohH6547; and the birdsH5775 did eatH398 them out of the basketH5536 uponH5921 my headH7218.2

18And JosephH3130 answeredH6030 and saidH559, This is the interpretationH6623 thereof: The threeH7969 basketsH5536 are threeH7969 daysH3117:

19Yet within threeH7969 daysH3117 shall PharaohH6547 lift upH5375 thy headH7218 from off thee, and shall hangH8518 thee on a treeH6086; and the birdsH5775 shall eatH398 thy fleshH1320 from off thee.3
