'Three Days' in the Bible

“This is its interpretation,” Joseph said to him. “The three branches are three days.

In just three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your position. You will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand the way you used to when you were his cupbearer.

“This is its interpretation,” Joseph replied. “The three baskets are three days.

In just three days Pharaoh will lift up your head—from off you—and hang you on a tree. Then the birds will eat the flesh from your body.”

So Joseph imprisoned them together for three days.
