Genesis 39:7-13

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.

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,

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,
