Genesis 40:20–23 · Berean Standard Bible

20 On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he held a feast for all his officials, and in their presence he lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.

21 Pharaoh restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.

22 But Pharaoh hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had described to them in his interpretation.

23 The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot all about him.
