Genesis 39:7-20

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.

13And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled forth,

14that she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew man to us, to mock us: he came in to me, to lie with me; and I cried with a loud voice;

15and it came to pass when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went out.

16And she laid his garment by her until his lord came home.

17And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew bondman that thou hast brought to us came in to me to mock me;

18and it came to pass as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled forth.

19And it came to pass when his lord heard the words of his wife which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did thy bondman to me, that his wrath was kindled.

20And Joseph's lord took him and put him into the tower-house, [the] place where the king's prisoners were confined; and he was there in the tower-house.
