Footnotes

  1. 26 Heb “that [the] interpretation [was] good.” The words “the first dream” are supplied in the translation for clarity.
  2. 27 Or “three wicker baskets.” The meaning of the Hebrew noun חֹרִי (khori, “white bread, cake”) is uncertain; some have suggested the meaning “wicker” instead. Comparison with texts from Ebla suggests the meaning “pastries made with white flour” (M. Dahood, “Eblaite h̬a-rí and Genesis 40, 16 ḥōrî,” 13 [1980]: 14–16).
