39AND JOSEPH was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain {and} chief executioner of the [royal] guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there.H3130H3381H4714H6318H5631H6547H8269H2876H376H4713H7069H3027H3459H33812But the Lord was with Joseph, and he [though a slave] was a successful {and} prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.H3068H3130H6743H376H1004H113H47133And his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made all that he did to flourish {and} succeed in his hand.H113H7200H3068H3068H6213H6743H30274So Joseph pleased [Potiphar] {and} found favor in his sight, and he served him. And [his master] made him supervisor over his house and he put all that he had in his charge.H3130H4672H2580H5869H8334H6485H1004H3426H5414H30275From the time that he made him supervisor in his house and over all that he had, the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the Lord's blessing was on all that he had in the house and in the field.H227H6485H1004H3426H3068H1288H4713H1004H3130H1558H1293H3068H3426H1004H77046And [Potiphar] left all that he had in Joseph's charge and paid no attention to anything he had except the food he ate. Now Joseph was an attractive person and fine-looking.H5800H3130H3027H3045H3972H518H3899H398H3130H8389H3303H47587Then after a time his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and she said, Lie with me.H310H1697H113H802H5375H5869H3130H559H79018But he refused and said to his master's wife, See here, with me in the house my master has concern about nothing; he has put all that he has in my care.H3985H559H113H802H113H3045H1004H5414H3426H30279He is not greater in this house than I am; nor has he kept anything from me except you, for you are his wife. How then can I do this great evil and sin against God?H1419H1004H3808H2820H3972H834H859H802H6213H1419H7451H2398H43010She spoke to Joseph day after day, but he did not listen to her, to lie with her or to be with her.H1696H3130H3117H3117H8085H7901H68111Then it happened about this time that Joseph went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the men of the house were indoors.H3117H935H1004H6213H4399H376H582H100412And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me! But he left his garment in her hand and fled and got out [of the house].H8610H899H559H7901H5800H899H3027H5127H3318H235113And when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled away,H7200H5800H899H3027H5127H235114She called to the men of her household and said to them, Behold, he [your master] has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock {and} insult us; he came in where I was to lie with me, and I screamed at the top of my voice.H7121H582H1004H559H559H7200H935H376H5680H6711H935H7901H7121H1419H696315And when he heard me screaming and crying, he left his garment with me and fled and got out of the house.H8085H7311H6963H7121H5800H899H681H5127H3318H235116And she laid up his garment by her until his master came home.H3240H899H681H113H935H100417Then she told him the same story, saying, The Hebrew servant whom you brought among us came to me to mock {and} insult me.H1696H1697H559H5680H5650H935H935H671118And when I screamed and cried, he left his garment with me and fled out [of the house].H7311H6963H7121H5800H899H681H5127H2351
Joseph Imprisoned
19And when [Joseph's] master heard the words of his wife, saying to him, This is the way your servant treated me, his wrath was kindled.H113H8085H1697H802H1696H559H1697H6213H5650H639H273420And Joseph's master took him and put him in the prison, a place where the state prisoners were confined; so he was there in the prison.H3130H113H3947H5414H1004H5470H4725H4428H615H631H1004H547021But the Lord was with Joseph, and showed him mercy {and} loving-kindness and gave him favor in the sight of the warden of the prison.H3068H3130H5186H2617H5414H2580H5869H8269H1004H547022And the warden of the prison committed to Joseph's care all the prisoners who were in the prison; and whatsoever was done there, he was in charge of it.H8269H1004H5470H5414H3130H3027H615H1004H5470H6213H621323The prison warden paid no attention to anything that was in [Joseph's] charge, for the Lord was with him and made whatever he did to prosper.H8269H1004H5470H7200H3972H3027H3068H6213H3068H6743
