Genesis 40:16-19
New King James Version
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.”
