Genesis 39:1-3

1Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an Egyptian officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the bodyguard, bought him 1from the 2Ishmaelites, who had taken him down there.

2And 3the Lord was with Joseph, so he became a 4successful man. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian.

3Now his master 5saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord 6made all that he did prosper in his hand.
