C. F. Keil and Franz Delitzsch on Genesis 40:20-22

Gen 40:20-22

Joseph’s interpretations were fulfilled three days afterwards, on the king’s birth-day. הלּדת יום: the day of being born; the inf. Hoph. is construed as a passive with the accus. obj., as in Gen 4:18, etc. Pharaoh gave his servants a feast, and lifted up the heads of both the prisoners, but in very different ways. The cup-bearer was pardoned, and reinstated in his office; the baker, on the other hand, was executed.
