Genesis 40:12–19

¹²Then Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: The three branches, they are three days. ¹³In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and will restore you to your office. And you shall put the cup of Pharaoh into his hand as was formerly the custom, when you were his cupbearer. ¹⁴But remember me when it goes well with you, and please may you show kindness with respect to me, and mention me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house. ¹⁵For I was surely kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have done nothing that they should put me in this pit.” ¹⁶And when the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good he said to Joseph, “I also dreamed. In my dream, now behold, there were three baskets of bread upon my head. ¹⁷And in the upper basket were all sorts of baked foods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket upon my head.” ¹⁸Then Joseph answered and said, “This is its interpretation: The three baskets, they are three days. ¹⁹In three days Pharaoh will lift your head from you and hang you on a pole,^b and the birds will eat your flesh from you.”
