But think on me with thee, when thou art in good
case, and shew mercy unto me. And make mention of me to Pharao,
and help to bring me out of this house: for I was stolen out of
the land of the Hebrews, and here also have I done nothing at all
wherefore they should have put me into this dungeon. When the
chief baker saw that he had well interpreted it, he said unto
Ioseph, me thought also in my dream, that I had three wicker
baskets on my head? And in the uppermost basket, of all manner
bakemeats for Pharao. And the birds ate them out of the basket
upon my head. Ioseph answered and said: this is the interpretation
thereof. The three baskets are three days, for this day three days
shall Pharao take thy head from thee, and shall hang thee on a
tree, and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee. And it came
to pass the third day which was Pharao'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. And
restored the chief butler unto his butlership again, and he
reached the cup into Pharao's hand, and hanged the chief baker:
even as Ioseph had interpreted unto them. Notwithstanding the
chief butler remembered not Ioseph, but forgot him.
