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.

And the LORD
was with Joseph,
and he was a prosperous
man;
and he was in the house
of his master
the Egyptian.
And his master
saw
that the LORD
was with him, and that the LORD
made all that he did
to prosper
in his hand.
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.
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.
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.
And it came to pass after
these things,
that his master's
wife
cast
her eyes
upon Joseph;
and she said,
Lie
with me.
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;
say
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?

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.
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.
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.
And it came to pass, when she saw
that he had left
his garment
in her hand,
and was fled
forth,
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:
say
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.
And she laid up
his garment
by her,
until his lord
came
home.
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:
say
And it came to pass, as I lifted up
my voice
and cried,
that he left
his garment
with me,
and fled
out.
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.
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.
But the LORD
was with Joseph,
and shewed
him mercy,
and gave
him favour
in the sight
of the keeper
of the prison.
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.

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.
