1And Joseph was brought down to Egypt. And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down there. 2And LORD was with Joseph. And he was a man who succeeds. And he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 3And his master saw that LORD was with him, and that LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand. 4And Joseph found favor in his sight, and he ministered to him. And he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand. 5And it came to pass from the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake. And the blessing of LORD was upon all that he had, in the house and in th 6And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and he knew nothing [that was] with him, save the bread which he ate. And Joseph was comely, and well-favored. 7And it came to pass, after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and she said, Lay with me. 8But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand. 9He is not greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but thee, because thou are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? 10And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not hearken to her, to lay by her, [or] to be with her. 11And it came to pass, about this time, that he went into the house to do his work, and there was none of the men of the house there inside. 12And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lay with me. And he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got out. 13And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, 14that she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us. He came in to me to lay with me, and I cried with a loud voice. 15And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled, and got out. 16And she laid up his garment by her until his master came home. 17And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom thou have brought to us, came in to me to mock me. 18And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled out. 19And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me, that his wrath was kindled. 20And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were bound. And he was there in the prison. 21But LORD was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. 22And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. And whatever they did there, he was the doer of it. 23The keeper of the prison did not look to anything that was under his hand, because LORD was with him, and that which he did, LORD made it prosper.
