## Joseph in Potiphar's House
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 1
|
||
|
|
Now Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an Egyptian official of Pharaoh, the captain of the bodyguard, bought him from the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down there.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
And Yahweh was with Joseph, so he became a successful man. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|
|
Now his master saw that Yahweh was with him and _how_ Yahweh caused all that he did to succeed in his hand.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
So Joseph found favor in his sight and attended on him; and he appointed him overseer over his house, and all that he owned he gave in his hand.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
Now it happened that from the time he appointed him overseer in his house and over all that he owned, Yahweh blessed the Egyptian's house on account of Joseph; thus the blessing of Yahweh was upon all that he owned, in the house and in the field.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
So he left everything he owned in Joseph's hand; and with him _there_ he did not concern himself with anything except the food which he ate. Now Joseph was beautiful in form and beautiful in appearance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
And it happened after these events that his master's wife set her eyes on Joseph and said, "Lie with me."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
But he refused and said to his master's wife, "Behold, with me _here_, my master does not concern himself with anything in the house, and he has given all that he owns into my hand.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
There is no one greater in this house than I, and he has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do this great evil and sin against God?"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
So it happened that as she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to lie beside her _or_ be with her.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|
||
|
|
Now it happened one day that he went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the household was there inside.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 12
|
||
|
|
Then she seized him by his garment, saying, "Lie with me!" And he left his garment in her hand and fled and went outside.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 13
|
||
|
|
Now it happened, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 14
|
||
|
|
that she called to the men of her household and spoke to them, saying, "See, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to laugh at us; he came in to me to lie with me, and I screamed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 15
|
||
|
|
Now it happened that when he heard that I raised my voice and screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled and went outside."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 16
|
||
|
|
And she placed his garment beside her until his master came home.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 17
|
||
|
|
Then she spoke to him with these words, saying, "The Hebrew slave, whom you brought to us, came in to me to laugh at me;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 18
|
||
|
|
and as I raised my voice and screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled outside."
|
||
|
|

|
|
## Joseph Is Put into Jail
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 19
|
||
|
|
Now it happened that when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, "This is what your slave did to me," his anger burned.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 20
|
||
|
|
So Joseph's master took him and put him into the jail, the place where the king's prisoners were confined; and he was there in the jail.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 21
|
||
|
|
But Yahweh was with Joseph and extended lovingkindness to him and gave him favor in the sight of the chief jailer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 22
|
||
|
|
So the chief jailer gave into the hand of Joseph all the prisoners who were in the jail; so that whatever was done there, he was the one who did _it_.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 23
|
||
|
|
The chief jailer did not supervise anything under Joseph's hand because Yahweh was with him; and whatever he did, Yahweh made to succeed.
