Genesis 39
1. 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.
2. And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous * man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3. And his master saw * that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did * to prosper * in his hand.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast * her eyes upon Joseph; and she said * , Lie * with me.
8. 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;
9. 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?
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. And it came to pass, when she saw * that he had left * his garment in her hand, and was fled * forth,
14. 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:
15. 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.
16. And she laid up * his garment by her, until his lord came * home.
17. 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:
18. And it came to pass, as I lifted up * my voice and cried * , that he left * his garment with me, and fled * out.
19. 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 * .
20. 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 .
21. But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed * him mercy, and gave * him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22. 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.
23. 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 * .
