Genesis 39:2-20

2And the LORDH3068 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 the LORDH3068 was with him, and that the LORDH3068 madeH6213 allH3605 that he didH6213 to prosperH6743 in his handH3027.

4And JosephH3130 foundH4672 graceH2580 in his sightH5869, and he ministeredH8334 unto him: and he madeH5414 him overseerH6485 over his houseH1004, and allH3605 that he had he putH5414 intoH5921 his handH3027.

5And it cameH1961 to passH1961 from the time that he madeH6485 him overseerH6485 in his houseH1004, and over allH3605 that he had, that the LORDH3068 blessedH1288 the Egyptian’sH4713 houseH1004 for Joseph’sH3130 sakeH5921; and the blessingH1293 of the LORDH3068 was uponH5921 allH3605 that he had, in the houseH1004 and in the fieldH7704.

6And he leftH5800 allH3605 that he had in Joseph’sH3130 handH3027; and he knewH3045 notH3808 aught that was with him, save the breadH3899 whichH834 he didH834 eatH398. And JosephH3130 was comely, and wellH3045 favoured.

7And it cameH1961 to passH1961 afterH310 theseH428 things, that his master’sH113 wifeH802 cast herH413 eyesH5869 uponH1961 JosephH3130; and sheH7901 saidH559, LieH7901 with meH413.

8But he refusedH3985, and saidH559 unto his master’sH113 wifeH802, BeholdH2005, my masterH113 knoweth notH3808 whatH4100 is with meH413 in the houseH1004, and he hath putH5414 allH3605 that he hath intoH413 my handH3027;

9there is noneH369 greaterH1419 in this houseH1004 thanH4480 I; neitherH3808 hath he keptH2820 backH2820 anyH4480 thingH2088 from meH4480 but thee, becauseH3588 thou art his wifeH802: howH349 then canH518 I doH6213 this greatH1419 wickednessH7451, and sinH2398 againstH4480 GodH430?

10And it cameH1961 to passH1961, as sheH7901 spake to JosephH3130 dayH3117 by dayH3117, that he hearkened notH3808 unto herH413, to lieH7901 by herH413, or to be with herH413.

11And it cameH935 to passH935 aboutH1961 this time, that he wentH935 intoH935 the houseH1004 to doH6213 his workH4399; and there was noneH369 of the menH376 of the houseH1004 there withinH1004.

12And sheH7901 caughtH8610 him by his garmentH899, sayingH559, LieH7901 with meH5973: and he leftH3318 his garmentH899 in herH559 handH3027, and fledH5127, and gotH3318 him outH3318.

13And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when sheH3588 sawH7200 that he had leftH5800 his garmentH899 in herH7200 handH3027, and was fledH5127 forth,

14that sheH7121 calledH7121 unto the menH376 of herH413 houseH1004, and spake unto them, sayingH559, SeeH7200, he hath broughtH935 in an HebrewH5680 unto usH413 to mock usH413; he cameH935 in unto meH413 to lieH7901 with meH413, and I criedH7121 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963:

15and it cameH1961 to passH1961, when he heardH8085 that I liftedH7311 upH7311 my voiceH6963 and criedH7121, that he leftH3318 his garmentH899 by meH6963, and fledH5127, and gotH3318 him outH3318.

16And sheH5704 laidH935 upH5704 his garmentH899 by herH413, untilH5704 his masterH113 cameH935 homeH1004.

17And sheH834 spake unto him accordingH413 to theseH428 wordsH1697, sayingH559, The HebrewH5680 servantH5650, whichH834 thou hast broughtH935 unto usH413, cameH935 in unto meH413 to mock meH413:

18and it cameH1961 to passH1961, as I liftedH7311 upH7311 my voiceH6963 and criedH7121, that he leftH5800 his garmentH899 by meH6963, and fledH5127 outH2351.

19And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when his masterH113 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of his wifeH802, whichH834 sheH834 spake unto him, sayingH559, AfterH1961 this mannerH1697 didH6213 thy servantH5650 to meH413; that his wrathH639 was kindledH2734.

20And Joseph’sH3130 masterH113 tookH3947 him, and putH5414 him intoH413 the prisonH1004, the placeH4725 whereH834 the king’sH4428 prisonersH631 were boundH631: and he was there in the prisonH1004.
