Genesis 39:11-23 ▼

11 Now it happened one day that he went into the house to do his work, and none of the people of the household was there inside.

12 So she grabbed him by his garment, saying, “Sleep with me!” But he left his garment in her hand and fled, and went outside.

13 When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside,

14 she called to the men of her household and said to them, “See, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to make fun of us; he came in to me to sleep with me, and I screamed.

15 When he heard that I raised my voice and screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled and went outside.”

16 So she left his garment beside her until his master came home.

17 Then she spoke to him with these words: “The Hebrew slave, whom you brought to us, came in to me to make fun of me;

18 but when I raised my voice and screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled outside.”

19 Now when his master heard the words of his wife which she spoke to him, saying, “This is what your slave did to me,” his anger burned.

20 So Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined; and he was there in the prison.

21 But the LORD was with Joseph and extended kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the warden of the prison.

22 And the warden of the prison put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison; so that whatever was done there, he was responsible for it.

23 The warden of the prison did not supervise anything under Joseph’s authority, because the LORD was with him; and, the LORD made whatever he did prosper.
