Genesis 39:7-12 ▼

7 That's why, sometime later, Joseph's master's wife looked straight at Joseph and propositioned him: |Come on! Let's have a little sex!|

8 But he refused, telling his master's wife, |Look! My master doesn't have to worry about anything in the house with me in charge, and he has entrusted everything into my care.

9 No one has more authority in this house than I do. He has withheld nothing from me, except you, and that's because you're his wife. So how can I commit such a horrible evil? How can I sin against God?|

10 She kept on talking to him like this day after day, but he wouldn't listen to her. Not only would he refuse to have sex with her, he refused even to stay around her.

11 One day, though, he went into the house to do his work. None of the household servants were inside,

12 so she grabbed Joseph by his outer garment and demanded |Let's have some sex!| Instead, Joseph ran outside, leaving his outer garment still in her hand.
