Genesis 39:7-12

7And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph, and said, Lie with me!

8But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master takes cognizance of nothing with me: what is in the house, and all that he has, he has given into my hand.

9There is none greater in this house than I; neither has he withheld anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife; and how should I do this great wickedness, and sin against 1God?

10And it came to pass as she spoke to Joseph day by day and he hearkened not to her, to lie with her [and] to be with her,

11that on a certain day he went into the house to do his business, and there was none of the men of the house there in the house.

12Then she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me! But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran out.
