Genesis 39:2-20

2And 1the Lord was with Joseph, so he became a 2successful man. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian. 3Now his master 3saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord 4made all that he did prosper in his hand. 4So Joseph 5found favor in his sight and 6became his personal servant; and he made him overseer over his house, and 7put him in charge of 8all that he owned. 5It came about that from the time he made him overseer in his house and over all that he owned, the Lord 9blessed the Egyptian’s house on account of Joseph; so 10the Lord’s blessing was upon all that he owned, in the house and in the field. 6So he left 11Joseph in charge of everything that he owned; and with him there he did not 12concern himself with anything except the 13food which he 14ate.

Now Joseph was 15handsome in form and appearance. 7And it came about after these events 16that his master’s wife 17had her eyes on Joseph, and she said, “18Sleep with me.” 8But 19he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Look, with me here, my master 20does not concern himself with anything in the house, and he has 21put me in charge of all that he owns. 92223There is no one greater in this house than I, and he has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do this great evil, and 24sin against God?” 10Though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to lie beside her or be with her. 11Now it happened 25one day that he went into the house to do his work, and none of the people of the household was there inside. 12So she grabbed him by his garment, saying, “Sleep with me!” But he left his garment in her hand and fled, and went outside. 1326When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside, 14she called to the men of her household and said to them, “See, he has brought in a 27Hebrew to us to make fun of us; he came in to me to sleep with me, and I 28screamed. 15When he heard that I raised my voice and 29screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled and went outside.” 16So she 30left his garment beside her until his master came home. 17Then she 31spoke to him 32with these 33words: “The Hebrew slave, whom you brought to us, came in to me to make fun of me; 18but when I raised my voice and 34screamed, 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, “35This is what your slave did to me,” 36his anger burned. 20So Joseph’s master took him and 37put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined; and he was there in the prison.
