Joseph and Potiphar’s Wife
39Now the Ishmaelites had taken Joseph to Egypt and sold him to Potiphar, one of the king's officers, who was the captain of the palace guard.H31302The LORD was with Joseph and made him successful. He lived in the house of his Egyptian master,H3068H3130H6743H376H1004H113H4713
3who saw that the LORD was with Joseph and had made him successful in everything he did.H113H7200H3068H3068H6213H6743H3027
4Potiphar was pleased with him and made him his personal servant; so he put him in charge of his house and everything he owned.H3130H4672H2580H5869H8334H6485H1004H3426H5414H3027
5From then on, because of Joseph the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian and everything that he had in his house and in his fields.H227H6485H1004H3426H3068H1288H4713H1004H3130H1558H1293H3068H3426H1004H7704
6Potiphar turned over everything he had to the care of Joseph and did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Joseph was well-built and good-looking,H5800H3130H3027H3045H3972H518H3899H398H3130H8389H3303H4758
7and after a while his master's wife began to desire Joseph and asked him to go to bed with her.H310H1697H113H802H5375H5869H3130H559H7901
8He refused and said to her, "Look, my master does not have to concern himself with anything in the house, because I am here. He has put me in charge of everything he has.H3985H559H113H802H113H3045H1004H5414H3426H3027
9I have as much authority in this house as he has, and he has not kept back anything from me except you. How then could I do such an immoral thing and sin against God?"H1419H1004H3808H2820H3972H834H859H802H6213H1419H7451H2398H430
10Although she asked Joseph day after day, he would not go to bed with her.H1696H3130H3117H3117H8085H7901H681
11But one day when Joseph went into the house to do his work, none of the house servants was there.H3117H935H1004H6213H4399H376H582H1004
12She caught him by his robe and said, "Come to bed with me." But he escaped and ran outside, leaving his robe in her hand.H8610H899H559H7901H5800H899H3027H5127H3318H2351
13When she saw that he had left his robe and had run out of the house,H7200H5800H899H3027H5127H2351
14she called to her house servants and said, "Look at this! This Hebrew that my husband brought to the house is insulting us. He came into my room and tried to rape me, but I screamed as loud as I could.H7121H582H1004H559H559H7200H935H376H5680H6711H935H7901H7121H1419H6963
15When he heard me scream, he ran outside, leaving his robe beside me."H8085H7311H6963H7121H5800H899H681H5127H3318H2351
16She kept his robe with her until Joseph's master came home.H3240H899H681H113H935H1004
17Then she told him the same story: "That Hebrew slave that you brought here came into my room and insulted me.H1696H1697H559H5680H5650H935H935H6711
18But when I screamed, he ran outside, leaving his robe beside me."H7311H6963H7121H5800H899H681H5127H2351 
19Joseph's master was furiousH113H8085H1697H802H1696H559H1697H6213H5650H639H2734
20and had Joseph arrested and put in the prison where the king's prisoners were kept, and there he stayed.H3130H113H3947H5414H1004H5470H4725H4428H615H631H1004H5470
21But the LORD was with Joseph and blessed him, so that the jailer was pleased with him.H3068H3130H5186H2617H5414H2580H5869H8269H1004H5470 
New Testament
22He put Joseph in charge of all the other prisoners and made him responsible for everything that was done in the prison.H8269H1004H5470H5414H3130H3027H615H1004H5470H6213H6213
23The jailer did not have to look after anything for which Joseph was responsible, because the LORD was with Joseph and made him succeed in everything he did.H8269H1004H5470H7200H3972H3027H3068H6213H3068H6743
