¹²“Here’s what your dream means,” Joseph said to him. “The three branches are three days. ¹³In three days Pharaoh will let you out of prison. He’ll give your position back to you. And you will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand. That’s what you used to do when you were his wine taster.

¹⁴“But when everything is going well with you, remember me. Do me a favor. Speak to Pharaoh about me. Get me out of this prison. ¹⁵I was taken away from the land of the Hebrews by force. Even here I haven’t done anything to be put in prison for.”

¹⁶The chief baker saw that Joseph had given a positive meaning to the wine taster’s dream. So he said to Joseph, “I had a dream too. There were three baskets of bread on my head. ¹⁷All kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh were in the top basket. But the birds were eating them out of the basket that was on my head.”

¹⁸“Here’s what your dream means,” Joseph said. “The three baskets are three days. ¹⁹In three days Pharaoh will cut your head off. Then he will stick a pole through your body and set the pole up. The birds will eat up your body.”
