Genèse 40:17 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 40:17

And in the uppermost basket [there was] of all manner of
bakemeats for Pharaoh
All sorts of pastry, as tarts, pies, &c. Josephus F2 says, two of the baskets were full of bread, and the third had various sorts of food, such as is usually, prepared for kings: and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head;
all the three baskets were upon his head, but this seems to be the uppermost, which the birds could more easily come at; though if the baskets were full of holes, they might through them peck the bread with their bills.

Genèse 40:17 In-Context

15 Car j'ai Ă©tĂ© enlevĂ© du pays des HĂ©breux, et ici mĂȘme je n'ai rien fait pour ĂȘtre mis en prison.
16 Le chef des panetiers, voyant que Joseph avait donnĂ© une explication favorable, dit: Voici, il y avait aussi, dans mon songe, trois corbeilles de pain blanc sur ma tĂȘte.
17 Dans la corbeille la plus Ă©levĂ©e il y avait pour Pharaon des mets de toute espĂšce, cuits au four; et les oiseaux les mangeaient dans la corbeille au-dessus de ma tĂȘte.
18 Joseph répondit, et dit: En voici l'explication. Les trois corbeilles sont trois jours.
19 Encore trois jours, et Pharaon enlĂšvera ta tĂȘte de dessus toi, te fera pendre Ă  un bois, et les oiseaux mangeront ta chair.
