Genesis 39:2-9
2And Jehovah wasH1961 with JosephH3130, and he wasH1961 a prosperous manH376; and he wasH1961 in the houseH1004 of his masterH113 the EgyptianH4713. 3And his masterH113 sawH7200 that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah madeH6213 all that he did to prosperH6743 in his handH3027. 4And JosephH3130 foundH4672 favorH2580 in his sight, and he ministered unto him: and he madeH5414 him overseer over his houseH1004, and all that he had he putH5414 into his handH3027. 5And it came to pass from the time that he made him overseer in his houseH1004, and over all that he had, that Jehovah blessedH1288 the Egyptian’s houseH1004 for Joseph’s sake; and the blessingH1293 of Jehovah wasH1961 upon all that he had, in the houseH1004 and in the fieldH7704. 6And he leftH5800 all that he had in Joseph’s handH3027; and he knewH3045 not aught that wasH1961 with him, save the breadH3899 which he did eatH398. And JosephH3130 wasH1961 comely, and well-favored.
7And it came to pass after these thingsH1697, that his master’sH113 wifeH802 cast her eyesH5869 upon JosephH3130; and she saidH559, LieH7901 with me. 8But he refusedH3985, and saidH559 unto his master’sH113 wifeH802, Behold, my masterH113 knoweth not what is with me in the houseH1004, and he hath putH5414 all that he hath into my handH3027: 9he is not greaterH1419 in this houseH1004 than I; neither hath he keptH2820 backH2820 anythingH3972 from me but thee, because thou art his wifeH802: howH349 then can I do this greatH1419 wickednessH7451, and sinH2398 against GodH430?
