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 favour in his eyesH5869, and attended on him; and he setH5414 him over his houseH1004, and all that he had he gaveH5414 into his handH3027.

5And it came to pass from the time he had set him over his houseH1004 and all that he had, that Jehovah blessedH1288 the Egyptian's houseH1004 for Joseph's sake; and the blessingH1293 of Jehovah wasH1961 on all that he had in the houseH1004 and in the fieldH7704.

6And he leftH5800 all that he had in Joseph's handH3027, and took cognizance of nothing with him, save the breadH3899 that he ateH398. And JosephH3130 wasH1961 of a beautifulH3303 formH8389 and of a beautifulH3303 countenance.

7And it came to pass after these thingsH1697, that his master's wifeH802 cast her eyesH5869 on JosephH3130, and saidH559, LieH7901 with me!

8But he refusedH3985, and saidH559 to his master's wifeH802, Behold, my masterH113 takes cognizance of nothing with me: what is in the houseH1004, and all that he has, he has givenH5414 into my handH3027.

9There is none greaterH1419 in this houseH1004 than I; neither has he withheld anythingH3972 from me but thee, because thou art his wifeH802; and howH349 should I do this greatH1419 wickednessH7451, and sinH2398 against 1GodH430?
