1Now Joseph <03130> had been brought down <03381> to Egypt <04714>. An Egyptian <04713> <0376> named Potiphar <06318>, an official <05631> of Pharaoh <06547> and the captain <08269> of the guard <02876>, purchased <07069> him from <03027> the Ishmaelites <03459> who <0834> had brought <03381> him there <08033>.
2The Lord <03068> was <01961> with <0854> Joseph <03130>. He was <01961> successful <06743> <0582> and lived <01961> in the household <01004> of his Egyptian <04713> master <0113>.
3His master <0113> observed <07200> that <03588> the Lord <03068> was with <0854> him and that <0834> the Lord <03068> made everything <03605> he <01931> was doing <06213> successful <06743>.
4So Joseph <03130> found <04672> favor <02580> in his sight <05869> and became <08334> his personal attendant <08334>. Potiphar appointed <06485> Joseph overseer of <05921> his household <01004> and put <05414> him in charge <03027> of everything <03605> he owned <03426>.
5From the time <0227> Potiphar appointed <06485> him over <06485> his household <01004> and over <05921> all <03605> that <0834> he owned <03426>, the Lord <03068> blessed <01288> the Egyptian’s <04713> household <01004> for Joseph’s <03130> sake <01558>. The blessing <01293> of the Lord <03068> was on everything <03605> that he had <03426>, both in his house <01004> and in his fields <07704>.
6So Potiphar left <05800> everything <03605> he had in Joseph’s <03130> care <03027>; he gave no <03808> thought <03045> to anything <03972> except <0518> the food <03899> he <01931> ate <0398>. Now <01961> Joseph <03130> was well <03303> built <08389> and good-looking <04758> <03303>.
7Soon after <0310> these <0428> things <01697>, his master’s <0113> wife <0802> took <05375> notice <05869> of <0413> Joseph <03130> and said <0559>, “Have sex <07901> with <05973> me.”
8But he refused <03985>, saying <0559> to <0413> his master’s <0113> wife <0802>, “Look <02005>, my master <0113> does not <03808> give <03045> any thought <03045> to his household <01004> with <0854> me here, and everything <03605> that <0834> he owns <03426> he has put <05414> into my care <03027>.
9There is no one <0369> greater <01419> in this <02088> household <01004> than <04480> I am. He has withheld <02820> nothing <03972> <03808> from <04480> me except <0518> <03588> you because <0834> you <0859> are his wife <0802>. So how <0349> could I do <06213> such <02063> a great <01419> evil <07451> and sin <02398> against God <0430>?”
10Even though she continued <01961> to speak <01696> to <0413> Joseph <03130> day <03117> after day <03117>, he did not <03808> respond <08085> to <0413> her invitation to have sex <07901> with <05973> her.
11One <02088> day <03117> he went <0935> into the house <01004> to do <06213> his work <04399> when none <0376> <0369> of the household <01004> servants <0376> were there <08033> in the house <01004>.
12She grabbed <08610> him by his outer garment <0899>, saying <0559>, “Have sex <07901> with <05973> me!” But he left <05800> his outer garment <0899> in her hand <03027> and ran <03318> <05127> outside <02351>.
13When <01961> she saw <07200> that <03588> he had left <05800> his outer garment <0899> in her hand <03027> and had run <05127> outside <02351>,
14she called <07121> for her household <01004> servants <0376> and said <0559> to them, “See <07200>, my husband brought <0935> in a Hebrew <05680> man <0376> to us to humiliate <06711> us. He tried <0935> to <0413> have sex <07901> with <05973> me, but I screamed <07121> loudly <01419> <06963>.
15When <03588> he heard <08085> me raise <07311> my voice <06963> and scream <07121>, he left <05800> his outer garment <0899> beside <0681> me and ran <03318> outside <02351>.”
16So she laid <03240> his outer garment <0899> beside <0681> her until <05704> his master <0113> came <0935> home <01004>.
17This <0428> is what she said <01696> to <0413> him: “That Hebrew <05680> slave <05650> you brought <0935> to <0413> us tried to humiliate <06711> me,
18but when <01961> I raised <07311> my voice <06963> and screamed <07121>, he left <05800> his outer garment <0899> and ran <05127> outside <02351>.”
19When <01961> his master <0113> heard <08085> his wife <0802> say <01696>, “This <0428> <01697> is the way <01697> your slave <05650> treated <06213> me,” he became furious <0639> <02734>.
20Joseph’s <03130> master <0113> took <03947> him and threw <05414> him into <0413> the prison <05470>, the place <04725> where <0834> the king’s <04428> prisoners <0631> were confined <0631>. So he was there <08033> in the prison <05470>.
21But the Lord <03068> was <01961> with <0854> Joseph <03130> and showed <05186> him kindness <02617> <05186>. He granted <05414> him favor <02580> in the sight <05869> of the prison <05470> <01004> warden <08269>.
22The warden <05470> <01004> <08269> put <05414> all <03605> the prisoners <0615> under <03027> Joseph’s <03130> care <03027>. He <01931> was <01961> in charge <06213> of whatever <0834> <03605> they were doing <06213>.
23The warden <05470> <01004> <08269> did not <0369> concern himself with <07200> anything <03972> <03605> that was in Joseph’s care <03027> because <0834> the Lord <03068> was with <0854> him and whatever <0834> he was <01931> doing <06213> the Lord <03068> was making successful <06743>.
