Genesis 39:6-9

6So he leftH5800 everythingH3605 he owned in Joseph’sH3130 1chargeH3027; and with him there he did not 2concernH3045 himself with anythingH3972 exceptH3588H518 the 3foodH3899 whichH834 he 4ateH398.

Now JosephH3130 was 5handsomeH3303 in formH8389 and appearanceH4758. 7It cameH1961 about afterH310 theseH428 eventsH1697 6that his master’sH113 wifeH802 7lookedH5375H5869 with desireH5375 at JosephH3130, and she saidH559, “8LieH7901 with me.” 8But 9he refusedH3985 and saidH559 to his master’sH113 wifeH802, “BeholdH2005, with me here, my masterH113 10does not concernH3045 himself with anythingH4100 in the houseH1004, and he has putH5414 allH3605 that he ownsH3426 in my 11chargeH3027. 91213ThereH369 is noH369 one greaterH1419 in thisH2088 houseH1004 thanH4480 I, and he has withheldH2820 nothingH3808H3972 from me exceptH3588H518 you, becauseH834 you are his wifeH802. HowH349 then could I doH6213 thisH2088 greatH1419 evilH7463 and 14sinH2398 against GodH430?”
