Genesis 40:22 In-Context

20 It happened the third day, which was Par`oh's birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

21 He restored the chief butler to his butlership again, and he gave the cup into Par`oh's hand;

22 but he hanged the chief baker, as Yosef had interpreted to them.

23 Yet the chief butler didn't remember Yosef, but forgot him.
