Genesis 39:11-18

11Now on one such day, he came into the house to do his work, and none of the people of the house were there in the house.

12Then she grabbed him by his garment saying, “Come, lie with me!” But he left his garment in her hand, fled and went outside.

13When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and fled outside,

14she screamed to the men of her house and said to them, “Look! Someone brought a Hebrew man to us to fool with us. He approached me to lie with me so I screamed out loud.

15When he heard me raise my voice and scream, he left his garment with me, fled and went outside.”

16Then she kept the garment with her until his master came home.

17She spoke the same words to him saying, “The Hebrew slave that you brought us approached me to fool with me.

18When I raised my voiced and screamed, he left his garment with me and fled outside.”
