Genesis 40:15

Compare all

13 Now within three days Pharaoh will ^alift up your head and restore you to your¹ place, and you will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand according to the former manner, when you were his butler.

14 But ^aremember me when it is well with you, and ^bplease show kindness to me; make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house.

15 For indeed I was ^astolen away from the land of the Hebrews; ^band also I have done nothing here that they should put me into the dungeon.”

16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, “I also was in my dream, and there were three¹ white baskets on my head.

17 In the uppermost basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.”
