When the chief baker saw that he had interpreted favorably, he said to Joseph, "I also saw in my dream, and behold, there were three baskets of white bread on my head;

and in the top basket there were some of all ^(F1)kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head."

Then Joseph answered and said, "This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days;

within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head from you and will hang you on a wooden post, and the birds will eat your flesh off you."

So it came about on the third day, which was ^(C1)Pharaoh's birthday, that he held a feast for all his servants; ^(C2)and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

He restored the chief cupbearer to his ^(F1)office, and ^(C1)he put the cup into Pharaoh's ^(F2)hand;

but ^(C1)he hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had interpreted to them.
