Genesis 39:6-18

6He left all that he owned under Joseph’s authority; he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome.

7After some time his master’s wife looked longingly at Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.”

8But he refused. “Look,” he said to his master’s wife, “with me here my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has put all that he owns under my authority.

9No one in this house is greater than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do this immense evil, and how could I sin against God?”

10Although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her.

11Now one day he went into the house to do his work, and none of the household servants were there.

12She grabbed him by his garment and said, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his garment in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.

13When she saw that he had left his garment with her and had run outside,

14she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “my husband brought a Hebrew man to make fools of us. He came to me so he could sleep with me, and I screamed as loud as I could.

15When he heard me screaming for help, he left his garment beside me and ran outside.”

16She put Joseph’s garment beside her until his master came home.

17Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought to us came to make a fool of me,

18but when I screamed for help, he left his garment beside me and ran outside.”
