Genesis 39:2-5

2And 1the LordH3068 was with JosephH3130, so he becameH1961 a 2successfulH6743 manH376. And he was in the houseH1004 of his masterH113, the EgyptianH4713.

3Now his masterH113 3sawH7200 that the LordH3068 was with him and that the LordH3068 4made allH3605 that he didH6213 prosperH6743 in his handH3027.

4So JosephH3130 5foundH4672 favorH2580 in his sightH5869 and 6becameH8334 his personalH8334 servantH8334; and he madeH6485 him overseerH6485 overH5921 his houseH1004, and 7putH5414 him in chargeH3027 of 8allH3605 that he ownedH3426.

5It cameH1961 aboutH1961 that from the timeH227 he madeH6485 him overseerH6485 in his houseH1004 and overH5921 allH3605 that he ownedH3426, the LordH3068 9blessedH1288 the Egyptian’sH4713 houseH1004 on accountH1558 of JosephH3130; so 10the Lord’sH3068 blessingH1293 was upon allH3605 that he ownedH3426, in the houseH1004 and in the fieldH7704.
