Genesis 39:4-6
4So Joseph 1found favor in his sight and 2became his personal servant; and he made him overseer over his house, and 3put him in charge of 4all 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 5blessed the Egyptian’s house on account of Joseph; so 6the Lord’s blessing was upon all that he owned, in the house and in the field. 6So he left 7Joseph in charge of everything that he owned; and with him there he did not 8concern himself with anything except the 9food which he 10ate.
Now Joseph was 11handsome in form and appearance.
