“And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:”
This is what it means, Joseph told him: the three baskets are three days. Joseph's interpretation of the baker's dream begins the same way as the cupbearer's — three baskets, three days. The application: the same structural element (three) carries different meanings in the two dreams. The interpretation must be applied to the specific content, not to the structural parallel.
