Genesis 40:12–19

¹²And Joseph saith to him, ‘This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days; ¹³yet, within three days doth Pharaoh lift up thy head, and hath put thee back on thy station, and thou hast given the cup of Pharaoh into his hand, according to the former custom when thou wast his butler.

¹⁴‘Surely if thou hast remembered me with thee, when it is well with thee, and hast done (I pray thee) kindness with me, and hast made mention of me unto Pharaoh, then hast thou brought me out from this house, ¹⁵for I was really stolen from the land of the Hebrews; and here also have I done nothing that they have put me in the pit.’ ¹⁶And the chief of the bakers seeth that he hath interpreted good, and he saith unto Joseph, ‘I also am in a dream, and lo, three baskets of white bread are on my head, ¹⁷and in the uppermost basket are of all kinds of Pharaoh’s food, work of a baker; and the birds are eating them out of the basket, from off my head.’ ¹⁸And Joseph answereth and saith, ‘This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days; ¹⁹yet, within three days doth Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hath hanged thee on a tree, and the birds have eaten thy flesh from off thee.’
