1
And Joseph[H3130] was brought down[H3381] to Egypt[H4714]; and Potiphar[H6318], an officer[H5631] of Pharaoh[H6547], captain[H8269] of the guard[H2876], an Egyptian[H376], bought[H7069] him of the hands[H3027] of the Ishmeelites[H3459], which had brought him down[H3381] thither.
2
And the LORD[H3068] was with Joseph[H3130], and he was a prosperous[H6743]man[H376]; and he was in the house[H1004] of his master[H113] the Egyptian[H4713].
3
And his master[H113]saw[H7200] that the LORD[H3068] was with him, and that the LORD[H3068] made all that he did[H6213] to prosper[H6743] in his hand[H3027].
4
And Joseph[H3130]found[H4672]grace[H2580] in his sight[H5869], and he served[H8334] him: and he made him overseer[H6485] over his house[H1004], and all that he had[H3426] he put[H5414] into his hand[H3027].
5
And it came to pass from the time[H227] that he had[H3426] made him overseer[H6485] in his house[H1004], and over all that he had[H3426], that the LORD[H3068]blessed[H1288] the Egyptian's house[H1004] for Joseph's sake[H1558]; and the blessing[H1293] of the LORD[H3068] was upon all that he had[H3426] in the house[H1004], and in the field[H7704].
6
And he left[H5800] all that he had in Joseph[H3130]'s hand[H3027]; and he knew[H3045] not ought[H3972] he had, save[H518] the bread[H3899] which he did eat[H398]. And Joseph[H3130] was a goodly[H8389] person, and well[H3303]favoured[H4758].
7
And it came to pass after[H310] these things[H1697], that his master's wife[H802]cast[H5375] her eyes[H5869] upon Joseph[H3130]; and she said[H559], Lie[H7901] with me.
8
But he refused[H3985], and said[H559] unto his master[H113]'s wife[H802], Behold, my master[H113]wotteth[H3045] not what is with me in the house[H1004], and he hath[H3426]committed[H5414] all that he hath[H3426] to my hand[H3027];
9
There is none greater[H1419] in this house[H1004] than I; neither[H3808] hath he kept back[H2820] any thing[H3972] from me but thee, because[H834]thou[H859] art his wife[H802]: how then can I do[H6213] this great[H1419]wickedness[H7451], and sin[H2398] against God?[H430]
10
And it came to pass, as she spake[H1696] to Joseph[H3130]day[H3117] by day[H3117], that he hearkened[H8085] not unto her[H681], to lie[H7901] by her[H681], or to be with her[H681].
11
And it came to pass about this time[H3117], that Joseph went[H935] into the house[H1004] to do[H6213] his business[H4399]; and there was none of the men[H376] of the house[H1004] there within.
12
And she caught[H8610] him by his garment[H899], saying[H559], Lie[H7901] with me: and he left[H5800] his garment[H899] in her hand[H3027], and fled[H5127], and got[H3318] him out[H2351].
13
And it came to pass, when she saw[H7200] that he had left[H5800] his garment[H899] in her hand[H3027], and was fled[H5127]forth[H2351],
14
That she called[H7121] unto the men[H582] of her house[H1004], and spake[H559] unto them, saying[H559], See[H7200], he hath brought in[H935] an Hebrew[H376] unto us to mock[H6711] us; he came in[H935] unto me to lie[H7901] with me, and I cried[H7121] with a loud[H1419]voice[H6963]:
15
And it came to pass, when he heard[H8085] that I lifted up[H7311] my voice[H6963] and cried[H7121], that he left[H5800] his garment[H899] with me[H681], and fled[H5127], and got him[H3318]out[H2351].
16
And she laid up[H3240] his garment[H899] by her[H681], until his lord[H113]came[H935]home[H1004].
17
And she spake[H1696] unto him according to these words[H1697], saying[H559], The Hebrew[H5680]servant[H5650], which thou hast brought[H935] unto us, came in[H935] unto me to mock[H6711] me:
18
And it came to pass, as I lifted up[H7311] my voice[H6963] and cried[H7121], that he left[H5800] his garment[H899] with me[H681], and fled[H5127]out[H2351].
19
And it came to pass, when his master[H113]heard[H8085] the words[H1697] of his wife[H802], which she spake[H1696] unto him, saying[H559], After this manner[H1697]did[H6213] thy servant[H5650] to me; that his wrath[H639] was kindled[H2734].
20
And Joseph's master[H113]took[H3947]him[H5414], and put him[H5414] into the prison[H1004], a place[H4725] where the king's prisoners[H615] were bound[H631]: and he was there in the prison[H5470].
21
But the LORD[H3068] was with Joseph[H3130], and shewed[H5186] him mercy[H2617], and gave[H5414] him favour[H2580] in the sight[H5869] of the keeper[H8269] of the prison[H1004].
22
And the keeper[H8269] of the prison[H1004]committed[H5414] to Joseph's hand[H3027] all the prisoners[H615] that were in the prison[H5470]; and whatsoever they did[H6213] there, he was the doer[H6213] of it.
23
The keeper[H8269] of the prison[H1004]looked[H7200] not to any thing[H3972] that was under his hand[H3027]; because the LORD[H3068] was with him, and that which he did[H6213], the LORD[H3068] made it to prosper[H6743].
