Genesis 40:15-17
The Voice
15 You see I was stolen from the land of my people the Hebrews, and I’ve done nothing to deserve being thrown into this pit.
16 When the chief baker saw that the cupbearer received such a good interpretation, he told Joseph his dream as well.
Baker: I’ve also had a dream: There were three baskets of fine cakes stacked on my head. 17 In the upper basket, there were all sorts of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds swooped down and kept eating Pharaoh’s food out of the basket on my head.
Genesis 40:15-17
New International Version

16 When the chief baker(C) saw that Joseph had given a favorable interpretation,(D) he said to Joseph, “I too had a dream: On my head were three baskets(E) of bread.[a] 17 In the top basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.”
