Genesis 39:14-20

14she called to the men of her household and said to them, “See, he has brought in a 1Hebrew to us to make fun of us; he came in to me to sleep with me, and I 2screamed. 15When he heard that I raised my voice and 3screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled and went outside.” 16So she 4left his garment beside her until his master came home. 17Then she 5spoke to him 6with these 7words: “The Hebrew slave, whom you brought to us, came in to me to make fun of me; 18but when I raised my voice and 8screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled outside.”

19Now when his master heard the words of his wife which she spoke to him, saying, “9This is what your slave did to me,” 10his anger burned. 20So Joseph’s master took him and 11put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined; and he was there in the prison.
