17 In the uppermost basket there was of all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head."
18 Joseph answered, "This is the interpretation of it. The three baskets are three days.
19 Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head from off you, and will hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from off you."
20 It happened the third day, which was Pharaoh`s birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
21 He restored the chief butler to his butlership again, and he gave the cup into Pharaoh`s hand;
22 but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23 Yet the chief butler didn`t remember Joseph, but forgot him.
