1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, a chamberlain of
Pharaoh, the captain of the life-guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand
of the Ishmaelites who had brought him down thither.
2 And Jehovah 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 Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all
that he did to prosper in his hand.
4 And Joseph found favour in his eyes, and attended on him; and he set him
over his house, and all that he had he gave into his hand.
5 And it came to pass from the time he had set him over his house and all
that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian`s house for Joseph`s sake;
and the blessing of Jehovah was on all that he had in the house and in the
field.
6 And he left all that he had in Joseph`s hand, and took cognizance of
nothing with him, save the bread that he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful
form and of a beautiful countenance.
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master`s wife cast her
eyes on Joseph, and said, Lie with me!
8 But he refused, and said to his master`s wife, Behold, my master takes
cognizance of nothing with me: what is in the house, and all that he has, he
has given into my hand.
9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither has he withheld
anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife; and how should I do
this great wickedness, and sin against God?
10 And it came to pass as she spoke to Joseph day by day and he hearkened
not to her, to lie with her [and] to be with her,
11 that on a certain day he went into the house to do his business, and
there was none of the men of the house there in the house.
12 Then she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me! But he left his
garment in her hand, and fled and ran out.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her
hand and had fled forth,
14 that she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See,
he has brought in a Hebrew man to us, to mock us: he came in to 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 went out.
16 And she laid his garment by her until his lord came home.
17 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew bondman
that thou hast brought to us came in to 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 forth.
19 And it came to pass when his lord heard the words of his wife which she
spoke to him, saying, After this manner did thy bondman to me, that his
wrath was kindled.
20 And Joseph`s lord took him and put him into the tower-house, [the] place
where the king`s prisoners were confined; and he was there in the
tower-house.
21 And Jehovah was with Joseph, and extended mercy to him, and gave him
favour in the eyes of the chief of the tower-house.
22 And the chief of the tower-house committed to Joseph`s hand all the
prisoners that were in the tower-house; and whatever they had to do there he
did.
23 The chief of the tower-house looked not to anything under his hand,
because Jehovah was with him; and what he did, Jehovah made it prosper.
