18 Joseph replied, “This is its meaning: The three baskets represent three days.
19 In three more days Pharaoh will decapitate you and impale you on a pole. Then the birds will eat your flesh from you.”
20 On the third day it was Pharaoh’s birthday, so he gave a feast for all his servants. He “lifted up” the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker in the midst of his servants.
21 He restored the chief cupbearer to his former position so that he placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand,
22 but the chief baker he impaled, just as Joseph had predicted.
23 But the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph – he forgot him.
