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