Genesis 40:22

Genesis 40:22 In-Context

20 Pharaoh’s birthday came three days later, and he prepared a banquet for all his officials and staff. He summoned his chief cup-bearer and chief baker to join the other officials.

21 He then restored the chief cup-bearer to his former position, so he could again hand Pharaoh his cup.

22 But Pharaoh impaled the chief baker, just as Joseph had predicted when he interpreted his dream.

23 Pharaoh’s chief cup-bearer, however, forgot all about Joseph, never giving him another thought.
