Genesis 40:16-23 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

16. And when the chief of the bakers saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also was in my dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head.

17. And in the uppermost basket there were all manner of victuals for Pharaoh that the baker makes, and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.

18. And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation of it: the three baskets are three days.

19. In yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hang thee on a tree; and the birds will eat thy flesh from off thee.

20. And it came to pass the third day--Pharaoh's birthday--that he made a feast to all his bondmen. And he lifted up the head of the chief of the cup-bearers, and the head of the chief of the bakers among his bondmen.

21. And he restored the chief of the cup-bearers to his office of cup-bearer again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.

22. And he hanged the chief of the bakers, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

23. But the chief of the cup-bearers did not remember Joseph, and forgot him.
