16. When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also dreamed, and behold, I had three cake baskets on my head.
17. And in the uppermost basket were some of all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds [of prey] were eating out of the basket on my head.
18. And Joseph answered, This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days.
19. Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head but will have you beheaded and hung on a tree, and [you will not so much as be given burial, but] the birds will eat your flesh.
20. And on the third day, Pharaoh's birthday, he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the heads of the chief butler and the chief baker [by inviting them also] among his servants.
21. And he restored the chief butler to his butlership, and the butler gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand;
22. But [Pharaoh] hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23. But [even after all that] the chief butler gave no thought to Joseph, but forgot [all about] him.
