Genesis40:19
19 Yet within 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.
This clause is industriously added here to the former phrase, to shew that it was now meant in another sense, He shall indeed lift up thy head, as well as the chief Bakers, but in another manner, not for thee, but from thee, or so as to take away thy head or thy Life (which eminently consists and appears in the head) from thee.
Marginal references: Or, reckon thee, and take thy office from thee.
