Genesis 39:2-6

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.
