Genesis 39:7-9
7And it cameH1961 aboutH1961 afterH310 theseH428 eventsH1697 1that his master’sH113 wifeH802 2hadH5375 her eyesH5869 on JosephH3130, and she saidH559, “3SleepH7901 with me.”
8But 4he refusedH3985 and saidH559 to his master’sH113 wifeH802, “LookH2005, with me here, my masterH113 5does not concernH3045 himself with anythingH4100 in the houseH1004, and he has 6putH5414 me in chargeH3027 of allH3605 that he ownsH3426.
978ThereH369 isH369 noH369 one greaterH1419 in thisH2088 houseH1004 thanH4480 I, and he has withheldH2820 nothingH3808H3972 from me exceptH3588H518 you, becauseH834 you are his wifeH802. HowH349 then could I doH6213 thisH2088 greatH1419 evilH7463, and 9sinH2398 against GodH430?”
