12. Joseph said to him, “This is the interpretation of it. The three branches are three days.
13. Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your place, and you will deliver Pharaoh’s cup into his hand in the same way you did before when you were his cupbearer.
14. But remember me when it is well with you, and show kindness, I pray you, to me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house.
15. For I was indeed kidnapped out of the land of the Hebrews, and I have done nothing that they should put me in the dungeon.”
16. When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, “I also was in my dream, and I had three white baskets on my head.
17. In the uppermost basket there was all manner of baked goods for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.”
18. Joseph answered and said, “This is the interpretation: The three baskets are three days.
19. Within three days Pharaoh will lift your head from off you and will hang you on a tree, and the birds will eat your flesh from you.”
20. It happened on the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants. He lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and the chief baker among his servants.
21. He restored the chief cupbearer to his position again, and he put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.
22. However, he hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23. Yet, the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
