Genesis 40:16-19
King James Version
16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head:
17 And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.
18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:
19 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.

16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, “I also was in my dream, and there were three [a]white baskets on my head. 17 In the uppermost basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.”
18 So Joseph answered and said, (A)“This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days. 19 (B)Within three days Pharaoh will lift [b]off your head from you and (C)hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from you.”
