GEN 39:5–23, engwebp
⁵From the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake. The LORD’s blessing was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.
⁶He left all that he had in Joseph’s hand. He didn’t concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Joseph was well-built and handsome.
⁷After these things, his master’s wife set her eyes on Joseph; and she said, “Lie with me.”
⁸But he refused, and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, my master doesn’t know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.
⁹No one is greater in this house than I am, and he has not kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”
¹⁰As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn’t listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
¹¹About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.
¹²She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.
¹³When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,
¹⁴she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, “Behold, he has brought a Hebrew in to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
¹⁵When he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
¹⁶She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
¹⁷She spoke to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me,
¹⁸and as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
¹⁹When his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” his wrath was kindled.
²⁰Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were bound, and he was there in custody.
²¹But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
²²The keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, he was responsible for it.
²³The keeper of the prison didn’t look after anything that was under his hand, because the LORD was with him; and that which he did, the LORD made it prosper.
