Genesis 40:20 - John Wesley's Notes

Genesis 40:20

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.

21 Then he ^arestored the chief butler to his butlership again, and ^bhe placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.

22 But he ^ahanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

23 Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but ^aforgot him.
