Interesting to note:
Joseph although in prison himself attended the cupbearer and the baker.
The significance of 3 days
After restored the cupbearer forgot about Joseph.
Should be hung not hanged in the last sentence.
Thanks for your comment, Elizabeth, but the case of hanging as a method of capital punishment is the exception to the usual grammatical rule.
See e.g. grammarist.com/usage/hanged-hung
