OET (OET-RV) Now when the chief of the bakers saw that this first dream was interpreted so favourably, he told Yosef, “I also was in my dream, and listen, there were three baskets of white bread on my head.

The Hebrew text is ambiguous here. It could mean: (1) “three baskets full of white/fine bread/cakes” or “three bread baskets” or (2) “three white/wicker baskets.” These baskets were open on top and were probably woven out of flexible strips of cane or willow branches.

These baskets would have been carried on the head, each one above the other. Alternate translation: [stacked on top of each other on my head]
