Genesis 39:11-18

11Now it happened 1one day that he went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the household was there inside. 12She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” And he left his garment in her hand and fled, and went outside. 132When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside, 14she called to the men of her household and said to them, “See, he has brought in a 3Hebrew to us to make sport of us; he came in to me to lie with me, and I 4screamed. 15When he heard that I raised my voice and 5screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled and went outside.” 16So she 6left his garment beside her until his master came home. 17Then she 7spoke to him 8with these words, “9The Hebrew slave, whom you brought to us, came in to me to make sport of me; 18and as I raised my voice and 10screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled outside.”
