Then he took these animals to a place that was three days’ journey away from Jacob. Jacob ·took care of [pastured] all the flocks that were left.

Three days later ·Laban learned [^Lit was told/reported to Laban] that Jacob had ·run away [fled],

Three days later the men who were circumcised were still in pain. Two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi (Dinah’s brothers), took their swords and made a ·surprise [or bold] attack on the city, killing all the men there.

Then Joseph said, “·I will explain the dream to you [^LThis is its interpretation]. The three branches stand for three days.

Before the end of three days the king will ·free you [^Llift up your head], and he will allow you to return to your work. You will ·serve the king his wine just as you did before [give the cup into the hand of Pharaoh according to your former custom when you were his cupbearer].

Joseph answered, “·I will tell you what the dream means [^LThis is its interpretation]. The three baskets stand for three days.

Before the end of three days, the king will ·cut off your head [^Llift up your head; v. 13]! He will hang your body on a ·pole [^Ltree], and the birds will eat your flesh.”

Three days later, on his birthday, ·the king [^LPharaoh] gave a ·feast [banquet] for all his ·officers [^Lservants]. In front of his ·officers [^Lservants], he ·released from prison the chief officer who served his wine and the chief baker [^Lhe lifted the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker].

Then Joseph put them all in ·prison [the guardhouse] for three days.
