1Now Joseph<3130> had been taken<3381> down<3381> to Egypt<4714>; and Potiphar<6318>, an Egyptian<4713> officer<5631> of Pharaoh<6547>, the captain<8269> of the bodyguard<2876>, bought<7069> him from the Ishmaelites<3459>, who<834> had taken<3381> him down<3381> there<8033>.
2The LORD<3068> was with Joseph<3130>, so he became<1961> a successful<6743> man<376>. And he was in the house<1004> of his master<113>, the Egyptian<4713>.
3Now his master<113> saw<7200> that the LORD<3068> was with him and how the LORD<3068> caused all<3605> that he did<6213> to prosper<6743> in his hand<3027>.
4So Joseph<3130> found<4672> favor<2580> in his sight<5869> and became<8334> his personal<8334> servant<8334>; and he made<6485> him overseer<6485> over<5921> his house<1004>, and all<3605> that he owned<3426> he put<5414> in his charge<3027>.
5It came<1961> about that from the time<227> he made<6485> him overseer<6485> in his house<1004> and over<5921> all<3605> that he owned<3426>, the LORD<3068> blessed<1288> the Egyptian's<4713> house<1004> on account<1558> of Joseph<3130>; thus the LORD'S<3068> blessing<1293> was upon all<3605> that he owned<3426>, in the house<1004> and in the field<7704>.
6So he left<5800> everything<3605> he owned in Joseph's<3130> charge<3027>; and with him there he did not concern<3045> himself with anything<3972> except<3588><518> the food<3899> which<834> he ate<398>. Now Joseph<3130> was handsome<3303> in form<8389> and appearance<4758>.
7It came<1961> about after<310> these<428> events<1697> that his master's<113> wife<802> looked<5375><5869> with desire<5375> at Joseph<3130>, and she said<559>, "Lie<7901> with me."
8But he refused<3985> and said<559> to his master's<113> wife<802>, "Behold<2005>, with me here, my master<113> does not concern<3045> himself with anything<4100> in the house<1004>, and he has put<5414> all<3605> that he owns<3426> in my charge<3027>.
9"There<369> is no<369> one greater<1419> in this<2088> house<1004> than<4480> I, and he has withheld<2820> nothing<3808><3972> from me except<3588><518> you, because<834> you are his wife<802>. How<349> then could I do<6213> this<2088> great<1419> evil<7463> and sin<2398> against God<430>?"
10As she spoke<1696> to Joseph<3130> day<3117> after day<3117>, he did not listen<8085> to her to lie<7901> beside<681> her or be with her.
11Now it happened<1961> one<2088> day<3117> that he went<935> into the house<1004> to do<6213> his work<4399>, and none<369><376> of the men<376> of the household<1004> was there<8033> inside<1004>.
12She caught<8610> him by his garment<899>, saying<559>, "Lie<7901> with me!" And he left<5800> his garment<899> in her hand<3027> and fled<5127>, and went<3318> outside<2351>.
13When she saw<7200> that he had left<5800> his garment<899> in her hand<3027> and had fled<5127> outside<2351>,
14she called<7121> to the men<376> of her household<1004> and said<559> to them, "See<7200>, he has brought<935> in a Hebrew<5680> to us to make<6711> sport<6711> of us; he came<935> in to me to lie<7901> with me, and I screamed<7121><6963><1419>.
15"When he heard<8085> that I raised<7311> my voice<6963> and screamed<7121>, he left<5800> his garment<899> beside<681> me and fled<5127> and went<3318> outside<2351>."
16So she left<5117> his garment<899> beside<681> her until<5704> his master<113> came<935> home<1004>.
17Then she spoke<1696> to him with these<428> words<1697>, "The Hebrew<5680> slave<5650>, whom<834> you brought<935> to us, came<935> in to me to make<6711> sport<6711> of me;
18and as I raised<7311> my voice<6963> and screamed<7121>, he left<5800> his garment<899> beside<681> me and fled<5127> outside<2351>."
19Now when his master<113> heard<8085> the words<1697> of his wife<802>, which<834> she spoke<1696> to him, saying<559>, "This<1697><428> is what<1697> your slave<5650> did<6213> to me," his anger<639> burned<2734>.
20So Joseph's<3130> master<113> took<3947> him and put<5414> him into the jail<1004><5470>, the place<4725> where<834> the king's<4428> prisoners<615> were confined<631>; and he was there<8033> in the jail<1004><5470>.
21But the LORD<3068> was with Joseph<3130> and extended<5186> kindness<2617> to him, and gave<5414> him favor<2580> in the sight<5869> of the chief<8269> jailer<1004><5470>.
22The chief<8269> jailer<1004><5470> committed<5414> to Joseph's<3130> charge<3027> all<3605> the prisoners<615> who<834> were in the jail<1004><5470>; so that whatever<3605><834> was done<6213> there<8033>, he was responsible<6213> for it.
23The chief<8269> jailer<1004><5470> did not supervise<7200> anything<3605><3972> under Joseph's charge<3027> because<834> the LORD<3068> was with him; and whatever<834> he did<6213>, the LORD<3068> made to prosper<6743>.
