Genesis 39:6-18
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?
10And it came to pass as she spokeH1696 to JosephH3130 dayH3117 by dayH3117 and he hearkened not to her, to lieH7901 with her [and] to beH1961 with her,
11that on a certain dayH3117 he wentH935 into the houseH1004 to do his businessH4399, and there was none of the menH376 of the houseH1004 there in the houseH1004.
12Then she caught him by his garmentH899, sayingH559, LieH7901 with me! But he left his garmentH899 in her handH3027, and fledH5127 and ran out.
13And it came to pass, when she sawH7200 that he had leftH5800 his garmentH899 in her handH3027 and had fledH5127 forth,
14that she calledH7121 to the menH376 of her houseH1004, and spoke to them, sayingH559, SeeH7200, he has broughtH935 in a HebrewH5680 manH376 to us, to mock us: he cameH935 in to me, to lieH7901 with me; and I cried with a loud voiceH6963;
15and it came to pass when he heardH8085 that I liftedH7311 up my voiceH6963 and cried, that he left his garmentH899 with me, and fledH5127 and wentH3318 out.
16And she laid his garmentH899 by her until his lordH113 cameH935 home.
17And she spokeH1696 to him according to these wordsH1697, sayingH559, The HebrewH5680 bondman that thou hast broughtH935 to us cameH935 in to me to mock me;
18and it came to pass as I liftedH7311 up my voiceH6963 and cried, that he leftH5800 his garmentH899 with me, and fledH5127 forth.
