391 Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt ; and Potiphar , an Egyptian officer of Pharaoh , the captain of the bodyguard , bought him from the Ishmaelites , who had taken him down there . 2 The Lord 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 the Lord was with him and how the Lord caused all that he did to prosper in his hand . 4 So Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal servant ; and he made him overseer over his house , and all that he owned he put in his charge . 5 It came about that from the time he made him overseer in his house and over all that he owned , the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house on account of Joseph ; thus the Lord'S blessing was upon all that he owned , in the house and in the field . 6 So he left everything he owned in Joseph's charge ; and with him there he did not concern himself with anything except e the food which he ate . Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance .
7 It came about after these events that his master's wife looked e with desire at Joseph , and she 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 put all that he owns in my charge . 9 " There is no one greater in this house than I, and he has withheld nothing e from me except e you, because you are his wife . How then could I do this great evil and sin against God ?" 10 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 e of the men of the household was there inside . 12 She caught him by his garment , saying , "Lie with me!" And he left his garment in her hand and fled , and went outside .
13 When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside , 14 she called to the men of her household and said to them, "See , he has brought in a Hebrew to us to make sport of us; he came in to me to lie with me, and I screamed e e . 15 "When he heard that I raised my voice and screamed , he left his garment beside me and fled and went outside ." 16 So she left his garment beside her until his master came home . 17 Then she spoke to him with these words , "The Hebrew slave , whom you brought to us, came in to me to make sport of me; 18 and as I raised my voice and screamed , he left his garment beside me and fled outside ."
19 Now when his master heard the words of his wife , which she spoke to him, saying , "This e is what your slave did to me," his anger burned . 20 So Joseph's master took him and put him into the jail e , the place where the king's prisoners were confined ; and he was there in the jail e . 21 But the Lord was with Joseph and extended kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the chief jailer e . 22 The chief jailer e committed to Joseph's charge all the prisoners who were in the jail e ; so that whatever e was done there , he was responsible for it. 23 The chief jailer e did not supervise anything e under Joseph's charge because the Lord was with him; and whatever he did , the Lord made to prosper .
