Genesis 40:18-19

40:18 Joseph replied, “This is its meaning: The three baskets represent ¹  three days. 40:19 In three more days Pharaoh will decapitate you ²  and impale you on a pole. Then the birds will eat your flesh from you.”

[40:18]  ¹ tn Heb “the three baskets [are].”

[40:19]  ² tn Heb “Pharaoh will lift up your head from upon you.” Joseph repeats the same expression from the first interpretation (see v. 13), but with the added words “from upon you,” which allow the statement to have a more literal and ominous meaning – the baker will be decapitated.
