¹² Then Joseph said to him, ^(A)“This is its interpretation: ^(B)the three branches are three days. ¹³ In three days Pharaoh will ^(C)lift up your head and restore you to your office, and you shall place Pharaoh's cup in his hand as formerly, when you were his cupbearer. ¹⁴ Only remember me, when it is well with you, and please do me the kindness to mention me to Pharaoh, and so get me out of this house. ¹⁵ For ^(D)I was indeed stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, and ^(E)here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the pit.”

¹⁶ When 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, ¹⁷ and 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.” ¹⁸ And Joseph answered and said, ^(F)“This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days. ^19 (G)In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head—from you!—and ^(H)hang you on a tree. And the birds will eat the flesh from you.”
