Meanwhile,
Joseph had
been
taken
down to Egypt ,
where
an
Egyptian
named
Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh
and
captain of the guard, bought him from
the Ishmaelites who
had taken
him there
.
And
Joseph was
brought
down to Egypt ;
and
Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's,
the
captain of the guard, an
Egyptian,
bought him of
the hand
of
the
Ishmaelites ,
that
had brought
him down
thither
.
And the
LORD
was with Joseph, and he became
a successful
man ,
serving
in the household
of his Egyptian
master.
And Jehovah
was with Joseph, and he was
a prosperous
man ;
and
he
was
in the house
of his master the
Egyptian
.
When
his master saw that the
LORD
was with him and made him
prosper
in
all he did ,
And
his master saw that Jehovah
was with him ,
and that
Jehovah
made all that
he did to
prosper
in
his
hand.
Joseph found favor in his sight and became
his
personal
attendant.
Potiphar
put
him in
charge
of
his
household
and entrusted
him with
everything
he owned
.
And
Joseph found favor in his sight ,
and he
ministered
unto
him :
and he
made
him overseer
over
his
house,
and
all
that
he had
he
put
into
his
hand
.
From the time that he put
Joseph
in charge
of
his household
and all he owned
, the
LORD
blessed the Egyptian’s
household
on
account
of
him.
The LORD’s
blessing was on
everything
he owned
, both
in his
house and in his
field.
And
it
came
to
pass
from the time that he made
him
overseer
in his house,
and over
all that
he had
, that
Jehovah
blessed the Egyptian's
house
for
Joseph's
sake;
and
the blessing of
Jehovah
was upon
all
that
he had
, in the
house and in the
field.
So
Potiphar
left all that he owned
in Joseph’s
care
; he did
not concern
himself
with anything
except
the food
he ate
. Now
Joseph was well- built
and
handsome,
And
he
left all that he had
in Joseph's
hand
; and
he knew
not aught
`that
was'
with him,
save
the bread
which
he did
eat
. And
Joseph was comely,
and
well- favored.
and after some
time
his master’s
wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, “Sleep
with me. ”
And it
came
to
pass
after these
things,
that
his master's
wife cast her eyes upon Joseph ;
and she
said, Lie
with me.
But he refused .
“Look
, ”
he
said to
his master’s
wife, “with
me
here
, my master does
not concern
himself
with anything
in his
house, and he has
entrusted
everything
he owns
to
my care.
But he refused, and
said unto
his master's
wife, Behold
, my master knoweth
not what
is
with me
in the
house, and he hath
put
all
that
he hath
into
my hand:
No
one
in this house is
greater
than I am.
He has
withheld
nothing
from me except
you
, because you
are
his wife .
So
how could
I do such
a
great evil
and sin against God? ”
he
is
not
greater
in this house than I ;
neither
hath
he kept
back
anything
from me but
thee
, because thou
art
his wife :
how then
can
I do this
great wickedness,
and sin against God?
Although
Potiphar’s
wife
spoke
to Joseph day after
day, he refused
to
go
to bed
with
her or even
be near
her.
And
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.
One
day,
however
, Joseph
went into the house to attend
to
his work ,
and not
a
single
household
servant
was inside
.
And
it
came
to
pass
about
this
time
, that
he
went into the house to do
his work ;
and there
was none
of
the
men
of
the
house
there
within
.
She grabbed
Joseph
by his cloak
and
said
, “Sleep
with me !”
But
leaving
his cloak
in her hand, he
escaped
and ran
outside
.
And
she caught
him
by his garment
, saying,
Lie
with me :
and
he
left
his garment
in her hand, and fled,
and
got
him
out
.
When she saw that he had left his cloak
in her hand and had
run
out
of
the
house
,
And
it
came
to
pass,
when she saw that he had left his garment
in her hand ,
and was
fled
forth
,
she called her household
servants.
“Look
, ”
she
said
, “this
Hebrew
has
been
brought to
us to make
sport
of
us .
He came to
me so
he
could
sleep
with me, but
I screamed
as
loud as
I
could.
that
she called unto
the
men
of
her house
, and
spake
unto
them
, saying,
See,
he
hath
brought in
a
Hebrew
unto
us to mock
us :
he came in
unto
me to
lie
with me, and
I cried
with
a
loud voice:
When he heard me
scream
for
help
, he left his cloak
beside
me and ran
out of
the
house
. ”
and
it
came
to
pass,
when he heard that
I
lifted
up
my
voice
and
cried
, that
he left his garment
by
me ,
and fled,
and
got
him
out.
So
Potiphar’s
wife
kept
Joseph’s
cloak
beside
her until his master came home.
And
she
laid
up
his
garment
by
her ,
until his master came home.
Then
she told
him the
same
story:
“
The Hebrew slave
you
brought us came to
me to make
sport
of
me ,
And
she spake
unto
him according
to
these
words,
saying,
The Hebrew servant,
whom
thou
hast
brought unto
us ,
came in
unto
me to mock
me :
but
when
I screamed
for
help
, he left his cloak
beside
me and ran
out of
the
house
. ”
and
it
came
to
pass,
as
I lifted
up
my
voice
and
cried
, that
he left his garment
by
me ,
and fled
out.
When his master heard the story
his wife told
him, saying, “
This is
what
your
slave
did to me ,”
he
burned
with
anger
.
And
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
.
So
Joseph’s
master took him and had
him thrown
into the prison where the king’s
prisoners were confined.
While
Joseph
was there in the prison ,
And
Joseph's
master took him ,
and put
him into the prison ,
the
place
where the king's
prisoners were bound:
and
he
was there in the prison .
the
LORD
was with him
and extended
kindness to
him, granting
him favor in the eyes
of the prison warden
.
But
Jehovah
was with Joseph,
and showed
kindness unto
him, and
gave
him favor in the sight
of the keeper
of
the
prison.
And the warden
put
all the prisoners under
Joseph’s
care,
so
that he
was
responsible
for
all
that
was
done
in the prison.
And 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
.
The warden
did
not concern
himself
with
anything under Joseph’s
care
, because the
LORD
was with Joseph
and
gave
him success
in
whatever
he did.
The keeper
of
the
prison
looked
not to
anything that
was
under his
hand
, because Jehovah
was with him ;
and
that
which
he did ,
Jehovah
made
it
prosper
.
