Genesis 39:2-5

21The Lord was with Joseph, so he became a 2successful man. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian.

3Now his master 3saw that the Lord was with him and how the Lord 4caused all that he did to prosper in his hand.

4So Joseph 5found favor in his sight and 6became his personal servant; and he made him overseer over his house, and 7all that he owned he put in his 8charge.

5It came about that from the time he made him overseer in his house and over all that he owned, the Lord 9blessed the Egyptian’s house on account of Joseph; thus 10the Lord’s blessing was upon all that he owned, in the house and in the field.
