Genesis 40:14-23

14But thinkH2142 on me when it shall be wellH3190 with thee, and showH6213 kindnessH2617 to me, I pray thee, and make mentionH2142 of me to PharaohH6547, and bring meH3318 out of this houseH1004:1 15For indeed I was stolen awayH1589 from the landH776 of the HebrewsH5680: and here also have I doneH6213 nothingH3972 that they should putH7760 me into the dungeonH953. 16When the chiefH8269 bakerH644 sawH7200 that the interpretationH6622 was goodH2896, he saidH559 to JosephH3130, I alsoH637 was in my dreamH2472, and, behold, I had threeH7969 whiteH2751 basketsH5536 on my headH7218:2 17And in the uppermostH5945 basketH5536 there was of all mannerH3978 of baked goodsH4639H644 for PharaohH6547; and the birdsH5775 ateH398 them out of the basketH5536 uponH5921 my headH7218.3 18And JosephH3130 answeredH6030 and saidH559, This is the interpretationH6623 of it: 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.4

20And it came to pass the thirdH7992 dayH3117, which wasPharaoh’sH6547 birthdayH3117H3205, that he madeH6213 a feastH4960 to all his servantsH5650: and he lifted upH5375 the headH7218 of the chiefH8269 butlerH8248 and of the chiefH8269 bakerH644 amongH8432 his servantsH5650.5 21And he restoredH7725 the chiefH8269 butlerH8248 to his butlershipH4945 againH7725; and he gaveH5414 the cupH3563 into Pharaoh’sH6547 handH3709: 22But he hangedH8518 the chiefH8269 bakerH644: as JosephH3130 had interpretedH6622 to them. 23Yet the chiefH8269 butlerH8248 did not rememberH2142 JosephH3130, but forgotH7911 him.
