Genesis 40:18-22 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

18. "Here's what your dream means," Joseph said. "The three baskets are three days.

19. In three days Pharaoh will cut your head off. Then he will stick a pole through your body and set the pole up. The birds will eat up your body."

20. The third day was Pharaoh's birthday. He had a big dinner prepared for all of his officials. He brought the chief wine taster and the chief baker out of prison. He did it in front of his officials.

21. He gave the chief wine taster's position back to him. Once again the wine taster put the cup into Pharaoh's hand.

22. But Pharaoh had a pole stuck through the chief baker's body. Then he had the pole set up. Everything happened exactly as Joseph had told them when he explained their dreams.
