Text from the Bible, Genesis, chapter 40 verse 16 (pericope-paracha Vayechev for those who are initiated) : The basket-maker noticed that [Joseph] had given a great interpretation [of the cupbearer’s dream] and he said to Joseph : « As for me, in my dream, I was carrying three wicker baskets on my head ».
Rachi’s comment about these wicker baskets or « saleï hori » in Hebrew (phonetic transcription), two words meaning « baskets with holes »:
[These] baskets are made with debarked branches (wicker) with holes in them. There are many around here [in Troyes] and the sellers use these baskets to carry their stuffed waffles that we call the « oubliès » in our language [medieval French].
