Genesis 39:11-18

11Then it happened one day that Joseph went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the men of the household was there in the house.

12She caught Joseph by his [outer] robe, saying, “Lie with me!” But he left his robe in her hand and ran, and got outside [the house].

13When she saw that he had left his robe in her hand and had run outside,

14she called to the men of her household and said to them, “Look at this, your master has brought a Hebrew [into the household] to mock and insult us; he came to me to lie with me, and I screamed.

15When he heard me screaming, he left his robe with me and ran outside [the house].”

16So she left Joseph’s [outer] robe beside her until his master came home.

17Then she told her husband the same story, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you brought among us, came to me to mock and insult me;

18then as soon as I raised my voice and screamed, he left his robe with me and ran outside [the house].”
