1And 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. 2And the LORD 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 the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand . 4And 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 . 5And 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 . 6And 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 .
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 wotteth not what is with me in the house , and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand ; 9There 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 ? 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 Joseph went into the house to do his business ; 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 an 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 with me , and fled , and got him out . 16And she laid up his garment by her , until his lord came home . 17And 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: 18And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried , that he left his garment with 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 , a place where the king’s prisoners were bound : and he was there in the prison .
Joseph in Prison
21But the LORD was with Joseph , and shewed him mercy , and gave him favour 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 any thing that was under his hand ; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did , the LORD made it to prosper .
