1And Joseph was brought down to Egypt ; and Potiphar , an officer of Pharaoh ’s, the captain of the guard , an Egyptian , bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites , that had brought him down thither . 2And Jehovah was with Joseph , and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian . 3And his master saw that Jehovah was with him , and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand . 4And Joseph found favor in his sight , and he ministered unto him : and he made him overseer over his house , and all that he had he put into his hand . 5And it came to pass from the time that he made him overseer in his house , and over all that he had , that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian ’s house for Joseph ’s sake ; and the blessing of Jehovah was upon all that he had , in the house and in the field . 6And he left all that he had in Joseph ’s hand ; and he knew not aught that was with him , save the bread which he did eat . And Joseph was comely , and well-favored.
Joseph and Potiphar's Wife
7And it came to pass after these things , that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph ; and she said , Lie with me . 8But he refused , and said unto his master ’s wife, Behold , my master knoweth not what is with me in the house , and he hath put all that he hath into my hand : 9he is not greater in this house than I ; neither hath he kept back anything from me but thee , because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness , and sin against God ? 10And 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 . 11And it came to pass about this time , that he went into the house to do his work ; and there was none of the men of the house there within . 12And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me : and he left his garment in her hand , and fled , and got him out .
Joseph's False Accusation and Imprisonment
13And it came to pass , when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand , and was fled forth , 14that she called unto the men of her house , and spake unto them , saying , See , he hath brought in a Hebrew unto us to mock us : he came in unto me to lie with me , and I cried with a loud voice : 15and it came to pass , when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried , that he left his garment by me , and fled , and got him out . 16And she laid up his garment by her , until his master came home . 17And she spake unto him according to these words , saying , The Hebrew servant , whom thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me : 18and it came to pass , as I lifted up my voice and cried , that he left his garment by me , and fled out . 19And 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 . 20And Joseph ’s master took him , and put him into the prison , the place where the king ’s prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison .
Joseph in Prison
21But Jehovah was with Joseph , and showed kindness unto him , and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison . 22And 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 . 23The keeper of the prison looked not to anything that was under his hand , because Jehovah was with him ; and that which he did , Jehovah made it to prosper .
