20 E foi o terceiro dia o dia do aniversário de Faraó, e fez banquete a todos os seus servos: e levantou a cabeça do chefe dos copeiros, e a cabeça do chefe dos padeiros, entre seus servos.

21 E fez voltar a seu ofício ao chefe dos copeiros; e deu ele o copo em mão de Faraó.

22 Mas fez enforcar ao principal dos padeiros, como lhe havia declarado José.

23 E o chefe dos copeiros não se lembrou de José, ao invés disso lhe esqueceu.
