Now Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an official of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there. |
| Gen. 39:2 |
And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he became a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian. |
| Gen. 39:3 |
And his master saw that Jehovah was with him and that Jehovah caused all that he did to prosper in his hand. |
| Gen. 39:4 |
And Joseph found favor in his sight, and he ministered to him; and he made him overseer of his house and put all that he had in his charge. |
| Gen. 39:5 |
And from the time he made him overseer in his house and [put him] over all that he had, Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house on account of Joseph; and the blessing of Jehovah was upon all that he had, in the house and in the field. |
| Gen. 39:6 |

| Gen. 39:7 |
Now after these things his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, Lie with me. |
| Gen. 39:8 |
But he refused and said to his master's wife, Behold, with me [here,] my master is not concerned about anything in the house, and he has put everything he has in my charge. |
| Gen. 39:9 |
There is no one greater in this house than I, and he has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great evil, and sin against God? |
| Gen. 39:10 |
And although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he would not listen to her to lie beside her [or] be with her. |
| Gen. 39:11 |
And one such day he went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house were there in the house. |
| Gen. 39:12 |
And she grabbed him by his garment, saying, Lie with me! But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and went outside. |
| Gen. 39:13 |
And when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside, |
| Gen. 39:14 |
She called to the men of her house and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew man to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I called out with a loud voice; |
| Gen. 39:15 |
And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and called out, he left his garment beside me, and fled and went outside. |
| Gen. 39:16 |
And she placed his garment beside her until his master came home. |
| Gen. 39:17 |
And she spoke to him with these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me. |
| Gen. 39:18 |
And when I lifted up my voice and called out, he left his garment beside me and fled outside. |
| Gen. 39:19 |
And when his master heard the words of his wife that she had spoken to him, saying, This is the way your servant treated me; his anger burned. |
| Gen. 39:20 |
And Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were confined. But while he was there in the prison, |
| Gen. 39:21 |
Jehovah was with Joseph; and He extended kindness to him and gave him favor in the sight of the chief jailer. |
| Gen. 39:22 |
And the chief jailer put in Joseph's charge all the prisoners who were in the prison; and whatever was done there, he was the one to do [it.] |
| Gen. 39:23 |
The chief jailer did not supervise anything that was in his charge, because Jehovah was with him; and whatever he did, Jehovah caused [it] to prosper. |
