Genesis 40:14-23

New King James Version

¹⁴ But ^(A)remember me when it is well with you, and ^(B)please show kindness to me; make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house. ¹⁵ For indeed I was ^(C)stolen away from the land of the Hebrews; ^(D)and also I have done nothing here that they should put me into the dungeon.”

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, ^(E)“This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days. ^19 (F)Within three days Pharaoh will lift ^[b]off your head from you and ^(G)hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from you.”

²⁰ Now it came to pass on the third day, which was Pharaoh’s ^(H)birthday, that he ^(I)made a feast for all his servants; and he ^(J)lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants. ²¹ Then he ^(K)restored the chief butler to his butlership again, and ^(L)he placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand. ²² But he ^(M)hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them. ²³ Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but ^(N)forgot him.
