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,
captain
of the guard,
an Egyptian,
bought
him of the hands
of the Ishmeelites,
which 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 the LORD
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 the LORD
[was] with him, and that the LORD
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
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.

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 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.

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 ought
he had, save
the bread
which he did eat.
And Joseph
was [a] goodly
[person], and well
favoured.

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
wotteth
not what [is] with me in the house,
and he hath committed
all that he hath
to 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?”
[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?

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 [Joseph] went
into the house
to do
his business;
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

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
an Hebrew
unto us to mock
us; he came in
unto me to lie
with me, and I cried
with a loud
voice:
15

When he heard me

And 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.
16
וַתַּנַּ֥ח

עַד־

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 lord
came
home.
17

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,
which thou hast brought
unto us, came in
unto me to mock
me:

And it came to pass, as I lifted up
my voice
and cried,
that he left
his garment
with 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.
20

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,
a place
where the king's
prisoners
[were] bound:
and he was there in the prison.
21

the LORD
was
with
him
and extended
kindness
to him,
granting him
favor
in the eyes
of the prison
warden.
But the LORD
was with Joseph,
and shewed
him mercy,
and gave
him favour
in the sight
of the keeper
of the prison.
22

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].

ס
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 any thing
[that was] under his hand;
because the LORD
was with him, and [that] which he did,
the LORD
made [it] to prosper.
