Genesis 39:1-7
1Now JosephH3130 had been takenH3381 downH3381 to EgyptH4714; and PotipharH6318, an EgyptianH4713 officerH5631 of PharaohH6547, the captainH8269 of the bodyguardH2876, boughtH7069 him 1from the 2IshmaelitesH3459, whoH834 had takenH3381 him downH3381 thereH8033. 23The LordH3068 was with JosephH3130, so he becameH1961 a 4successfulH6743 manH376. And he was in the houseH1004 of his masterH113, the EgyptianH4713. 3Now his masterH113 5sawH7200 that the LordH3068 was with him and how the LordH3068 6caused allH3605 that he didH6213 to prosperH6743 in his handH3027. 4So JosephH3130 7foundH4672 favorH2580 in his sightH5869 and 8becameH8334 his personalH8334 servantH8334; and he madeH6485 him overseerH6485 overH5921 his houseH1004, and 9allH3605 that he ownedH3426 he putH5414 in his 10chargeH3027. 5It cameH1961 about that from the timeH227 he madeH6485 him overseerH6485 in his houseH1004 and overH5921 allH3605 that he ownedH3426, the LordH3068 11blessedH1288 the Egyptian’sH4713 houseH1004 on accountH1558 of JosephH3130; thus 12the Lord’sH3068 blessingH1293 was upon allH3605 that he ownedH3426, in the houseH1004 and in the fieldH7704. 6So he leftH5800 everythingH3605 he owned in Joseph’sH3130 13chargeH3027; and with him there he did not 14concernH3045 himself with anythingH3972 exceptH3588H518 the 15foodH3899 whichH834 he 16ateH398.
Now JosephH3130 was 17handsomeH3303 in formH8389 and appearanceH4758. 7It cameH1961 about afterH310 theseH428 eventsH1697 18that his master’sH113 wifeH802 19lookedH5375H5869 with desireH5375 at JosephH3130, and she saidH559, “20LieH7901 with me.”
