16. When the chief of the bakers saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, “I also was in my dream. Expectantly, there were three baskets of white bread on my head.
17. In the top basket was food for Pharaoh—all kinds of baked goods. But the birds were eating them from the basket on my head.”
18. Then Joseph answered and said, “This is its interpretation. The three baskets: they are three days.
19. In another three days Pharaoh will lift up your head—off of you—and will hang you on a tree. Then the birds will eat your flesh off of you.”
20. Then it happened on the third day—Pharaoh’s birthday—that he held a banquet for all his servants. He lifted up the head of the chief of the cupbearers and the head of the chief of the bakers among his servants.
21. He restored the chief of the cupbearers as his cupbearer, and he put the cup on the palm of Pharaoh’s hand.
22. But the chief of the bakers he hung. It was just as Joseph had interpreted for them.
23. Yet the chief of the cupbearers did not remember Joseph—indeed, he forgot him.
