Bible in Basic English
"After three days Pharaoh will take you out of prison, hanging you on a tree, so that your flesh will be food for birds."
— Genesis 40:19, Bible in Basic English
“within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee. ”
Now when the chief bread-maker saw that the first dream had a good sense, he said to Joseph, I had a dream; and in my dream there were three baskets of white bread on my head;
And in the top basket were all sorts of cooked meats for Pharaoh; and the birds were taking them out of the baskets on my head.
Then Joseph said, This is the sense of your dream: the three baskets are three days;
After three days Pharaoh will take you out of prison, hanging you on a tree, so that your flesh will be food for birds.
Now the third day was Pharaoh's birthday, and he gave a feast for all his servants; and he gave honour to the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker among the others.
And he put the chief wine-servant back in his old place; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
But the chief bread-maker was put to death by hanging, as Joseph had said.
