Genesis 39:2-9
2And YhwhH3068 was with JosephH3130, and he was a prosperousH6743 manH376; and he was in the houseH1004 of his masterH113 the EgyptianH4713. 3And his masterH113 sawH7200 that YhwhH3068 was with him, and that YhwhH3068 made all that he didH6213 to prosperH6743 in his handH3027. 4And JosephH3130 foundH4672 graceH2580 in his sightH5869, and he servedH8334 him: and he made him overseerH6485 over his houseH1004, and all that he hadH3426 he putH5414 into his handH3027. 5And it came to pass from the timeH227 that he had made him overseerH6485 in his houseH1004, and over all that he hadH3426, that YhwhH3068 blessedH1288 the Egyptian’sH4713 houseH1004 for Joseph’sH3130 sakeH1558; and the blessingH1293 of YhwhH3068 was upon all that he hadH3426 in the houseH1004, and in the fieldH7704. 6And he leftH5800 all that he had in Joseph’sH3130 handH3027; and he knewH3045 not oughtH3972 he had, saveH518 the breadH3899 which he did eatH398. And JosephH3130 was a goodlyH8389 person, and wellH3303 favouredH4758.
7And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that his master’sH113 wifeH802 castH5375 her eyesH5869 upon JosephH3130; and she saidH559, LieH7901 with me. 8But he refusedH3985, and saidH559 unto his master’sH113 wifeH802, Behold, my masterH113 wottethH3045 not what is with me in the houseH1004, and he hath committedH5414 all that he hathH3426 to my handH3027; 9There is none greaterH1419 in this houseH1004 than I; neitherH3808 hath he kept backH2820 any thingH3972 from me but thee, becauseH834 thouH859 art his wifeH802: how then can I doH6213 this greatH1419 wickednessH7451, and sinH2398 against GodH430?
