Genesis 39
1And JosephH3130 was brought downH3381 to EgyptH4714; and PotipharH6318, an officerH5631 of PharaohH6547, captainH8269 of the guardH2876, an EgyptianH376H4713, boughtH7069 him of the handsH3027 of the IshmaelitesH3459, who had brought him downH3381 there. 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 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 the LORDH3068 blessedH1288 the Egyptian’sH4713 houseH1004 for Joseph’sH3130 sakeH1558; and the blessingH1293 of the LORDH3068 was on all that he hadH3426 in the houseH1004, and in the fieldH7704. 6And he leftH5800 all that he had in Joseph’sH3130 handH3027; and he did not concernH3045 himself with any thingH3972 he had, exceptH518 the breadH3899 which he ateH398. And JosephH3130 was a handsomeH8389 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 to his master’sH113 wifeH802, Behold, my masterH113 knowethH3045 not what is with me in the houseH1004, and he hath committedH5414 all that he hathH3426 to my handH3027; 9There is none greaterH1419 in his 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? 10And it came to pass, as she spokeH1696 to JosephH3130 dayH3117 by dayH3117, that he hearkenedH8085 not to her, to lieH7901 by herH681, or to be with her. 11And it came to pass about this timeH3117, that Joseph wentH935 into the houseH1004 to doH6213 his workH4399; and there was none of the menH376H582 of the houseH1004 there within. 12And she caughtH8610 him by his garmentH899, sayingH559, LieH7901 with me: and he leftH5800 his garmentH899 in her handH3027, and fledH5127, and wentH3318 outsideH2351.
13And it came to pass, when she sawH7200 that he had leftH5800 his garmentH899 in her handH3027, and had fledH5127 outsideH2351, 14That she calledH7121 to the menH582 of her houseH1004, and spokeH559 to them, sayingH559, SeeH7200, he hath brought inH935 an HebrewH376H5680 to us to mockH6711 us; he came inH935 to me to lieH7901 with me, and I criedH7121 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963:1 15And it came to pass, when he heardH8085 that I raisedH7311 my voiceH6963 and criedH7121, that he leftH5800 his garmentH899 with meH681, and fledH5127, and wentH3318 outsideH2351. 16And she laid upH3240 his garmentH899 by herH681, until his lordH113 cameH935 homeH1004. 17And she spokeH1696 to him according to these wordsH1697, sayingH559, The HebrewH5680 servantH5650, which thou hast broughtH935 to us, came inH935 to me to mockH6711 me: 18And it came to pass, as I raisedH7311 my voiceH6963 and criedH7121, that he leftH5800 his garmentH899 with meH681, and fledH5127 outsideH2351.
19And it came to pass, when his masterH113 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of his wifeH802, which she spokeH1696 to 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 prisonH1004H5470, a placeH4725 where the king’sH4428 prisonersH615 were boundH631: and he was there in the prisonH1004H5470. 21But the LORDH3068 was with JosephH3130, and showedH5186 him mercyH2617, and gaveH5414 him favourH2580 in the sightH5869 of the keeperH8269 of the prisonH1004H5470.2 22And the keeperH8269 of the prisonH1004H5470 committedH5414 to Joseph’sH3130 handH3027 all the prisonersH615 that were in the prisonH1004H5470; and whatever they didH6213 there, was doneH6213 by him. 23The keeperH8269 of the prisonH1004H5470 lookedH7200 not to any thingH3972 that was under his handH3027; because the LORDH3068 was with him, and that which he didH6213, the LORDH3068 made it to prosperH6743.
