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 was a prosperous
man
; and he was in the house
of his master
the Egyptian
.
And his master saw
that the LORD
was with him, and that the LORD
made all that he did
to prosper
in his hand
.
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
.
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
.
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 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, 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
;
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
?
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.
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.
And she caught him by his garment
, saying
, Lie
with me: and he left
his garment
in her hand
, and fled
, and got
him out
.
And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left
his garment
in her hand
, and was fled
forth
,
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
:
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
.
And she laid up his garment
by her
, until his lord
came
home
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
But the LORD was with Joseph
, and shewed
him mercy
, and gave
him favour
in the sight
of the keeper
of 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 .
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
.
