Genesis 39:3-6
3Now his master 1saw that the Lord was with him and how the Lord 2caused all that he did to prosper in his hand. 4So Joseph 3found favor in his sight and 4became his personal servant; and he made him overseer over his house, and 5all that he owned he put in his 6charge. 5It came about that from the time he made him overseer in his house and over all that he owned, the Lord 7blessed the Egyptian’s house on account of Joseph; thus 8the Lord’s blessing was upon all that he owned, in the house and in the field. 6So he left everything he owned in Joseph’s 9charge; and with him there he did not 10concern himself with anything except the 11food which he 12ate.
Now Joseph was 13handsome in form and appearance.
