Young's Literal Translation
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 hath
been brought
down to Egypt, and
Potiphar, a
eunuch
of Pharaoh ,
head
of the executioners
, an
Egyptian
man,
buyeth
him out
of
the hands
of
the
Ishmaelites who have
brought
him thither
.
And the
LORD
was
with Joseph, and he became
a successful
man, serving
in the household
of his Egyptian master.
And Jehovah
is
with Joseph, and he is
a prosperous
man, and
he
is
in the house
of his lord
the
Egyptian ,
When
his master
saw
that
the
LORD was
with him and made
him
prosper
in
all he did
,
and
his lord seeth
that
Jehovah
is
with him ,
and all that
he is
doing
Jehovah
is
causing
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 findeth
grace
in his eyes
and serveth
him ,
and he
appointeth
him over
his
house,
and
all
that
he hath
he
hath
given
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
cometh
to
pass
from the time that he hath
appointed
him
over
his house,
and over
all that
he hath
, that
Jehovah
blesseth
the house
of the Egyptian
for
Joseph's
sake,
and
the
blessing of
Jehovah
is
on all
that
he hath
, 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
leaveth
all that he hath
in the
hand
of
Joseph,
and
he hath
not known
anything that
he
hath,
except the bread
which
he is
eating
. And Joseph
is
of
a
fair
form
, and
of
a
fair
appearance.
and after some
time
his master’s
wife cast
her eyes upon
Joseph and said
, “Sleep
with me .”
And it
cometh
to
pass
after these
things,
that
his lord's
wife lifteth
up
her eyes unto
Joseph ,
and saith
, `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.
and
he refuseth
, and
saith
unto
his lord's
wife, `Lo
, my lord
hath
not known
what
`is'
with me
in the
house, and all
that
he hath
he hath
given
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 ?”
none
is
greater
in this house than I ,
and
he hath
not
withheld from me anything,
except thee
, because thou
`art'
his wife ;
and
how shall
I do this
great evil ?
--
then
have
I
sinned
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
cometh
to pass
at
her
speaking
unto
Joseph day `by'
day, that
he hath
not
hearkened
unto
her,
to lie
near
her ,
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
cometh
to
pass
about
this
day, that
he
goeth
into the house to do
his work, and there
is
none
of
the
men
of
the
house
there
in
the
house,
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 catcheth
him
by his garment
, saying,
`Lie
with me ;'
and
he
leaveth
his garment
in her hand, and fleeth,
and
goeth
without
.
When she saw
that he had
left his cloak
in her hand and had
run
out
of
the
house
,
And
it
cometh
to
pass
when she seeth
that he hath
left his garment
in her hand ,
and fleeth
without
,
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 calleth
for
the
men
of
her house
, and
speaketh
to
them
, saying,
`See,
he
hath
brought in
to us a
man,
a
Hebrew,
to play
with
us ;
he hath
come
in
unto
me ,
to
lie
with me, and
I call
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
cometh
to
pass,
when he heareth
that
I
have
lifted
up
my
voice
and
call
, that
he leaveth
his garment
near
me ,
and fleeth,
and
goeth
without
. '
So
Potiphar’s
wife
kept
Joseph’s
cloak
beside
her until his master
came
home
.
And
she
placeth
his
garment
near
her ,
until the
coming
in
of
his lord
unto
his
house
.
Then
she told
him the
same
story:
“
The Hebrew slave
you
brought us came
to
me to make
sport
of
me ,
And
she speaketh
unto
him according
to
these
words,
saying,
`
The Hebrew servant
whom
thou
hast
brought unto
us ,
hath
come
in
unto
me to play
with
me ;
but
when I screamed
for
help
, he left
his cloak
beside
me and ran
out
of
the
house
. ”
and
it
cometh
to
pass,
when I lift
my
voice
and
call
, that
he leaveth
his garment
near
me ,
and fleeth
without
. '
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
cometh
to
pass
when his lord
heareth
the words
of
his wife ,
which
she
hath
spoken
unto
him, saying, `According
to these
things
hath
thy
servant
done
to
me, '
that
his
anger burneth;
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
lord
taketh
him ,
and putteth
him unto
the round-house,
a
place
where the king's
prisoners `are'
bound;
and
he
is
there in the round-house.
the
LORD
was
with him
and extended
kindness to
him, granting
him
favor
in the eyes of the prison
warden.
And
Jehovah
is
with Joseph,
and stretcheth
out
kindness unto
him, and
putteth
his
grace
in the eyes of the chief
of
the
round-house;
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 chief
of
the
round-house
giveth
into
the
hand
of
Joseph
all the prisoners who
`are'
in
the
round-house
, and
of
all that they
are
doing
there,
he
hath
been
doer;
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 chief
of
the
round-house
seeth
not anything under his
hand
, because Jehovah
`is'
with him ,
and
that
which
he is
doing
Jehovah
is
causing
to
prosper
.
