Genesis 39:9-19

9No one in this house is greater than I. He’s kept nothing back from me except you, because you’re his wife. How could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?”

10Although she kept asking Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or be with her.

11One day he went into the house to do his work, and none of the household servants were there.

12She grabbed him by his clothes and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he ran outside and left his clothes in her hand.

13When she realized that he had gone but had left his clothes behind,

14she called her household servants and said to them, “Look! My husband brought this Hebrew here to fool around with us. He came in and tried to go to bed with me, but I screamed as loud as I could.

15As soon as he heard me scream, he ran outside and left his clothes with me.”

16She kept Joseph’s clothes with her until his master came home.

17Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought here came in and tried to fool around with me.

18But when I screamed, he ran outside and left his clothes with me.”

19When Potiphar heard his wife’s story, especially when she said, “This is what your slave did to me,” he became very angry.
