Genesis 39:19-23
19And it came to pass, when his masterH113 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of his wifeH802, which she spakeH1696 unto him, sayingH559, After this mannerH1697 didH6213 thy servantH5650 to me; that his wrathH639 was kindledH2734. 20And Joseph’sH3130 masterH113 tookH3947 him, and put himH5414 into the prisonH5470H1004, a placeH4725 where the king’sH4428 prisonersH615 were boundH631: and he was there in the prisonH5470H1004.
21But YhwhH3068 was with JosephH3130, and shewedH5186 him mercyH2617, and gaveH5414 him favourH2580 in the sightH5869 of the keeperH8269 of the prisonH5470H1004.1 22And the keeperH8269 of the prisonH5470H1004 committedH5414 to Joseph’sH3130 handH3027 all the prisonersH615 that were in the prisonH5470H1004; and whatsoever they didH6213 there, he was the doerH6213 of it. 23The keeperH8269 of the prisonH5470H1004 lookedH7200 not to any thingH3972 that was under his handH3027; because YhwhH3068 was with him, and that which he didH6213, YhwhH3068 made it to prosperH6743.
