7 After these things, his master’s wife set her eyes on Joseph; and she said, “Lie with me.” And after a time his master’s wife cast her eyes on Joseph and said, “Lie with me.” and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!”
8 But 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. But he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, because of me my master has no concern about anything in the house, and he has put everything that he has in my charge. But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care.
9 No 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?” He is not greater in this house than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me except you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?” No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?”
10 As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn’t listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her. And as she spoke to Joseph day after day, he would not listen to her, to lie beside her or to be with her. And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her.
11 About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside. But one day, when he went into the house to do his work and none of the men of the house was there in the house, One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside.
12 She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside. she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand and fled and got out of the house. She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house.
13 When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside, And as soon as she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled out of the house, When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,
14 she 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. she called to the men of her household and said to them, “See, he has brought among us a Hebrew to laugh at us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice. she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed.
15 When he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.” And as soon as he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and fled and got out of the house.” When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
16 She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home. Then she laid up his garment by her until his master came home, She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home.
17 She spoke to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me, and she told him the same story, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought among us, came in to me to laugh at me. Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me.
18 and as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.” But as soon as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment beside me and fled out of the house.” But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
19 When 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. As soon as his master heard the words that his wife spoke to him, “This is the way your servant treated me,” his anger was kindled. When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger.
