Genesis 39

1And 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 Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.● 2And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.● 3And his master saw that the LORD {was} with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.● 4And 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.● 5And 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 upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.● 6And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was {a} goodly {person}, and well favoured.● 7And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.● 8But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what {is} with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;● 9{There is} none greater in this 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?● 10And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, {or} to be with her.● 11And 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.● 12And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.● 13And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,● 14That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice: {loud: Heb. great}● 15And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.● 16And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.● 17And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:● 18And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.● 19And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.● 20And 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.● 21But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison. {shewed...: Heb. extended kindness unto him}● 22And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that {were} in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer {of it}.● 23The 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.●
