Genesis 39:1-7
1Meanwhile, JosephH3130 had been taken downH3381 to EgyptH4714, where an EgyptianH4713 named PotipharH6318, an officerH5631 of PharaohH6547 and captainH8269 of the guardH2876H376, bought himH7069 fromH3027 the IshmaelitesH3459 whoH834 had taken himH3381 thereH8033. 2And the LORDH3068 wasH1961 withH854 JosephH3130, and he becameH1961 a successfulH6743 manH376, servingH1961 in the householdH1004 of his EgyptianH4713 masterH113.
3When his masterH113 sawH7200 thatH3588 the LORDH3068 was with himH854 and made him prosperH6743H3027 in allH3605 heH1931 didH6213, 4JosephH3130 foundH4672 favorH2580 in his sightH5869 and became his personal attendantH8334.
Potiphar put himH6485 in charge ofH5921 his householdH1004 and entrustedH5414 himH3027 with everythingH3605 he ownedH3426. 5From the timeH227 that he put Joseph in chargeH6485 of his householdH1004 andH5921 allH3605 he ownedH3426, the LORDH3068 blessedH1288 the Egyptian’sH4713 householdH1004 on account ofH1558 him. The LORD’sH3068 blessingH1293 was on everythingH3605 he ownedH3426, both in his houseH1004 and in his fieldH7704. 6So Potiphar leftH5800 allH3605 thatH834 he owned in Joseph’sH3130 careH3027; he did notH3808 concern himselfH3045H854 with anythingH3972 exceptH3588H518 the foodH3899 heH1931 ateH398.
Now JosephH3130 wasH1961 well-builtH3303H8389 and handsomeH3303H4758, 7andH1961 after some timeH310H1697H428 his master’sH113 wifeH802 castH5375 her eyesH5869 uponH413 JosephH3130 and saidH559, “SleepH7901 with meH5973.”
