16When the chief baker saw that he had interpreted well, he said to Yoseph, “I also had a dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head.”

17and in the top basket were all kinds of food for Pharaoh, the work of a baker, and the birds were eating them from the basket above my head.

18Joseph answered and said, “This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days.”

19In three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head from upon you and hang you on a tree, and the birds will eat your flesh from upon you.
