Jerome : (Verse 16.) And it seemed to me that I was carrying three baskets of wheat on my head. For the three baskets of wheat, he has three measures of flour in Hebrew. — Hebrew Questions on Genesis Augustine of Hippo : WHAT WERE THE THREE BASKETS OF THE GRAND BAKER? — Some Latin codices have: Three baskets of grain . The Greek codices have χονδριτων, which translates by "bread of low quality" those who know the Greek language. But we can ask how it is possible that the Pharaoh had for food a bread of low quality. For the text says that in the basket above there was everything that Pharaoh ate in a bakery. But we must know that this basket also contained low quality breads, because the Scripture mentions three baskets of χονδριτων and says that on top was that basket full of all sorts of bakery items in the same basket above.
