Genesis 40:16-23

16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head:
17 And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats * for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.
18 And Joseph answered and said , This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:
19 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
20 And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday * , that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.
21 And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again ; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
22 But he hanged the chief baker : as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
