Genesis 40:15-23
New American Standard Bible
16When 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;
17and in the top basket there were some of all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.'
18Then Joseph answered and said, 'This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days;
19within 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.'
20So it came about on the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, that he held a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
21He restored the chief cupbearer to his office, and he put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand;
22but he hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
King James Version
16When 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:
17And 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.
18And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:
19Yet 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.
20And 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.
21And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
22But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
Christian Standard Bible
16When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was positive, he said to Joseph, "I also had a dream. Three baskets of white bread were on my head.
17In the top basket were all sorts of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head."
18"This is its interpretation," Joseph replied. "The three baskets are three days.
19In just three days Pharaoh will lift up your head—from off you—and hang you on a tree. Then the birds will eat the flesh from your body."
20On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he gave a feast for all his servants. He elevated the chief cupbearer and the chief baker among his servants.
21Pharaoh restored the chief cupbearer to his position as cupbearer, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.
22But Pharaoh hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had explained to them.
23Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph; he forgot him.
New Living Translation
16When the chief baker saw that Joseph had given the first dream such a positive interpretation, he said to Joseph, 'I had a dream, too. In my dream there were three baskets of white pastries stacked on my head.
17The top basket contained all kinds of pastries for Pharaoh, but the birds came and ate them from the basket on my head.'
18This is what the dream means,' Joseph told him. 'The three baskets also represent three days.
19Three days from now Pharaoh will lift you up and impale your body on a pole. Then birds will come and peck away at your flesh.'
20Pharaoh’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.
21He then restored the chief cup-bearer to his former position, so he could again hand Pharaoh his cup.
22But Pharaoh impaled the chief baker, just as Joseph had predicted when he interpreted his dream.
23Pharaoh’s chief cup-bearer, however, forgot all about Joseph, never giving him another thought.
English Standard Version
16When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, "I also had a dream: there were three cake baskets on my head,
17and in the uppermost basket there were all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating it out of the basket on my head."
18And Joseph answered and said, "This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days.
19In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head — from you! — and hang you on a tree. And the birds will eat the flesh from you."
20On the third day, which was Pharaoh 's birthday, he made a feast for all his servants and lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
21He restored the chief cupbearer to his position, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh 's hand.
22But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
New International Version
16When the chief baker saw that Joseph had given a favorable interpretation, he said to Joseph, "I too had a dream: On my head were three baskets of bread.
17In the top basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head."
18"This is what it means," Joseph said. "The three baskets are three days.
19Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head and impale your body on a pole. And the birds will eat away your flesh."
20Now the third day was Pharaoh’s birthday, and he gave a feast for all his officials. He lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and the chief baker in the presence of his officials:
21He restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand—
22but he impaled the chief baker, just as Joseph had said to them in his interpretation.
New King James Version
16When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, “I also was in my dream, and there were three white baskets on my head.
17In the uppermost basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.”
18So Joseph answered and said, “This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days.
19Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head from you and hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from you.”
20Now it came to pass on the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.
21Then he restored the chief butler to his butlership again, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.
22But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
