39:1And
Joseph was brought down to
Egypt; and
Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an
Egyptian, bought him of the
hand of the
Ishmaelites, that had brought him down thither.
39:2And
Jehovah was with
Joseph, and he was a prosperous
man; and he was in the
house of his master the
Egyptian.
39:3And his master saw that
Jehovah was with him, and that
Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his
hand.
39:4And
Joseph found
favor in his sight, and he ministered unto him: and he made him overseer over his
house, and all that he had he put into his
hand.
39:5And it came to pass from the
time that he made him overseer in his
house, and over all that he had, that
Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's
house for Joseph's sake; and the
blessing of
Jehovah was upon all that he had, in the
house and in the
field.
39:6And he left all that he had in Joseph's
hand; and he knew not aught
that was with him, save the
bread which he did
eat. And
Joseph was comely, and well-favored.
39:7And it came to pass after these
things, that his master's
wife cast her eyes upon
Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
39:8But he refused, and said unto his master's
wife, Behold, my master knoweth not what is with me in the
house, and he hath put all that he hath into my
hand:
39:9he is not greater in this
house than I; neither hath he kept back anything from me but thee, because thou art his
wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and
sin against
God?
39:10And it came to pass, as she spake to
Joseph day by
day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her,
or to be with her.
39:11And it came to pass about this
time, that he went into the
house to do his
work; and there was none of the
men of the
house there within.
39:12And she caught him by his
garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his
garment in her
hand, and fled, and got him out.
39:13And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his
garment in her
hand, and was fled forth,
39:14that she called unto the
men of her
house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in a
Hebrew unto us to mock us: he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud
voice:
39:15and it came to pass, when he heard that I
lifted up my
voice and cried, that he left his
garment by me, and fled, and got him out.
39:16And she laid up his
garment by her, until his master came home.
39:17And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The
Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:
39:18and it came to pass, as I
lifted up my
voice and cried, that he left his
garment by me, and fled out.
39:19And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled. 39:20And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison. 39:21But Jehovah was with Joseph, and showed kindness unto him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. 39:22And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.39:23The keeper of the prison looked not to anything that was under his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and that which he did, Jehovah made it prosper.
