Genesis  


39 : 1 Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an Egyptian officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the bodyguard, bought him from the Ishmaelites, who had taken him down there.
39 : 2 The LORD was with Joseph, so he became a successful man. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian.
39 : 3 Now his master saw that the LORD was with him and how the LORD caused all that he did to prosper in his hand.
39 : 4 So Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal servant; and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he owned he put in his charge.
39 : 5 It came about that from the time he made him overseer in his house and over all that he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian`s house on account of Joseph; thus the LORD`S blessing was upon all that he owned, in the house and in the field.
39 : 6 So he left everything he owned in Joseph`s charge; and with him there he did not concern himself with anything except the food which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.
39 : 7 It came about after these events that his master`s wife looked with desire at Joseph, and she said, "Lie with me."
39 : 8 But he refused and said to his master`s wife, "Behold, with me here, my master does not concern himself with anything in the house, and he has put all that he owns in my charge.
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 could I do this great evil and sin against God?
39 : 10 As she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to lie beside her or be with her.
39 : 11 Now it happened one day that he went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the household was there inside.
39 : 12 She caught him by his garment, saying, "Lie with me!" And he left his garment in her hand and fled, and went outside.
39 : 13 When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside,
39 : 14 she called to the men of her household and said to them, "See, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to make sport of us; he came in to me to lie with me, and I screamed.
39 : 15 When he heard that I raised my voice and screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled and went outside.
39 : 16 So she left his garment beside her until his master came home.
39 : 17 Then she spoke to him with these words, "The Hebrew slave, whom you brought to us, came in to me to make sport of me;
39 : 18 and as I raised my voice and screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled outside."
39 : 19 Now when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, "This is what your slave did to me," his anger burned.
39 : 20 So Joseph`s master took him and put him into the jail, the place where the king`s prisoners were confined; and he was there in the jail.
39 : 21 But the LORD was with Joseph and extended kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the chief jailer.
39 : 22 The chief jailer committed to Joseph`s charge all the prisoners who were in the jail; so that whatever was done there, he was responsible for it.
39 : 23 The chief jailer did not supervise anything under Joseph`s charge because the LORD was with him; and whatever he did, the LORD made to prosper.
