New Testament

Genesis 40:17-23 Common English Bible (CEB)

17. In the basket on top there were baked goods for Pharaoh’s food, but birds were eating them out of the basket on my head."

18. Joseph responded, "This is the dream’s interpretation: The three baskets are three days.

19. After three days, Pharaoh will give you an audience and will hang you from a tree where birds will peck your flesh from you."

20. The third day was Pharaoh’s birthday, and he gave a party for all of his servants. Before all of his servants, he gave an audience to the chief wine steward and the chief baker.

21. He returned the chief wine steward to his position, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.

22. But the chief baker he hanged, just as Joseph had said would happen when he interpreted their dreams for them.

23. But the chief wine steward didn’t remember Joseph; he forgot all about him.
