Genesis 40:16-23

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 headH7218:1 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 headH7218.2 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.3

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 servantsH5650.4 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.
