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.”
18 So Joseph answered and said, a“This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days.
19 aWithin three days Pharaoh will lift1 off your head from you and bhang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from you.”
20 Now it came to pass on the third day, which was Pharaoh’s abirthday, that he bmade a feast for all his servants; and he clifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.
