Ge 39:1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt: and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down thither.

Ge 39:2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man: and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

Ge 39:3 And his master saw that the LORD [was] with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

Ge 39:4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all [that] he had he put into his hand.

Ge 39:5 And it came to pass from the time [that] he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake: and the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had in the house, and in the field.

Ge 39:6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not aught he had, save the bread which he ate; and Joseph was [a] goodly [person], and well favored.

Ge 39:7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph: and she said, Lie with me.

Ge 39:8 But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master knoweth not what [is] with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand:

Ge 39:9 [There is] none greater in his house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou [art] his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

Ge 39:10 And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not to her, to lie by her, [or] to be with her.

Ge 39:11 And it came to pass, about this time, that [Joseph] went into the house to do his business; and [there was] none of the men of the house there within.

Ge 39:12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and went out.

Ge 39:13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had fled forth,

Ge 39:14 That she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he hath brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us: he came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:

Ge 39:15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and went out.

Ge 39:16 And she laid up his garment by her until his lord came home.

Ge 39:17 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought to us, came in to me to mock me.

Ge 39:18 And it came to pass, as I raised my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled.

Ge 39:19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.

Ge 39:20 And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners [were] bound: and he was there in the prison.

Ge 39:21 But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

Ge 39:22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that [were] in the prison; and whatever they did there, was done by him.

Ge 39:23 The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing [that was] under his hand; because the LORD was with him: and [that] which he did the LORD made [it] to prosper.
