1 And Joseph * h3130 was brought down * h3381 h8717 to Egypt * h4714; and Potiphar * h6318, an officer * h5631 of Pharaoh * h6547, captain * h8269 of the guard * h2876, an Egyptian * h376 * h4713, bought * h7069 h8799 him of the hands * h3027 of the Ishmeelites * h3459, which had brought him down * h3381 h8689 thither.
2 And the LORD * h3068 was with Joseph * h3130, and he was a prosperous * h6743 h8688 man * h376; and he was in the house * h1004 of his master * h113 the Egyptian * h4713.
3 And his master * h113 saw * h7200 h8799 that the LORD * h3068 was with him, and that the LORD * h3068 made all that he did * h6213 h8802 to prosper * h6743 h8688 in his hand * h3027.
4 And Joseph * h3130 found * h4672 h8799 grace * h2580 in his sight * h5869, and he served * h8334 h8762 him: and he made him overseer * h6485 h8686 over his house * h1004, and all that he had * h3426 he put * h5414 h8804 into his hand * h3027.
5 And it came to pass from the time * h227 that he had made him overseer * h6485 h8689 in his house * h1004, and over all that he had * h3426, that the LORD * h3068 blessed * h1288 h8762 the Egyptian's * h4713 house * h1004 for Joseph's * h3130 sake * h1558; and the blessing * h1293 of the LORD * h3068 was upon all that he had * h3426 in the house * h1004, and in the field * h7704.
6 And he left * h5800 h8799 all that he had in Joseph's * h3130 hand * h3027; and he knew * h3045 h8804 not ought * h3972 he had, save * h518 the bread * h3899 which he did eat * h398 h8802. And Joseph * h3130 was a goodly * h8389 person , and well * h3303 favoured * h4758.
7 And it came to pass after * h310 these things * h1697, that his master's * h113 wife * h802 cast * h5375 h8799 her eyes * h5869 upon Joseph * h3130; and she said * h559 h8799, Lie * h7901 h8798 with me.
8 But he refused * h3985 h8762, and said * h559 h8799 unto his master's * h113 wife * h802, Behold, my master * h113 wotteth * h3045 h8804 not what is with me in the house * h1004, and he hath committed * h5414 h8804 all that he hath * h3426 to my hand * h3027;
9 There is none greater * h1419 in this house * h1004 than I; neither * h3808 hath he kept back * h2820 h8804 any thing * h3972 from me but thee, because * h834 thou * h859 art his wife * h802: how then can I do * h6213 h8799 this great * h1419 wickedness * h7451, and sin * h2398 h8804 against God * h430?
10 And it came to pass, as she spake * h1696 h8763 to Joseph * h3130 day * h3117 by day * h3117, that he hearkened * h8085 h8804 not unto her, to lie * h7901 h8800 by her * h681, or to be with her.
11 And it came to pass about this time * h3117, that Joseph went * h935 h8799 into the house * h1004 to do * h6213 h8800 his business * h4399; and there was none of the men * h376 * h582 of the house * h1004 there within.
12 And she caught * h8610 h8799 him by his garment * h899, saying * h559 h8800, Lie * h7901 h8798 with me: and he left * h5800 h8799 his garment * h899 in her hand * h3027, and fled * h5127 h8799, and got * h3318 h8799 him out * h2351.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw * h7200 h8800 that he had left * h5800 h8804 his garment * h899 in her hand * h3027, and was fled * h5127 h8799 forth * h2351,
14 That she called * h7121 h8799 unto the men * h582 of her house * h1004, and spake * h559 h8799 unto them, saying * h559 h8800, See * h7200 h8798, he hath brought in * h935 h8689 an Hebrew * h376 * h5680 unto us to mock * h6711 h8763 us; he came in * h935 h8804 unto me to lie * h7901 h8800 with me, and I cried * h7121 h8799 with a loud * h1419 voice * h6963: loud: Heb. great
15 And it came to pass, when he heard * h8085 h8800 that I lifted up * h7311 h8689 my voice * h6963 and cried * h7121 h8799, that he left * h5800 h8799 his garment * h899 with me * h681, and fled * h5127 h8799, and got him * h3318 h8799 out * h2351.
16 And she laid up * h3240 h8686 his garment * h899 by her * h681, until his lord * h113 came * h935 h8800 home * h1004.
17 And she spake * h1696 h8762 unto him according to these words * h1697, saying * h559 h8800, The Hebrew * h5680 servant * h5650, which thou hast brought * h935 h8689 unto us, came in * h935 h8804 unto me to mock * h6711 h8763 me:
18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up * h7311 h8687 my voice * h6963 and cried * h7121 h8799, that he left * h5800 h8799 his garment * h899 with me * h681, and fled * h5127 h8799 out * h2351.
19 And it came to pass, when his master * h113 heard * h8085 h8800 the words * h1697 of his wife * h802, which she spake * h1696 h8765 unto him, saying * h559 h8800, After this manner * h1697 did * h6213 h8804 thy servant * h5650 to me; that his wrath * h639 was kindled * h2734 h8799.
20 And Joseph's * h3130 master * h113 took * h3947 h8799 him, and put him * h5414 h8799 into the prison * h1004 * h5470, a place * h4725 where the king's * h4428 prisoners * h615 were bound * h631 h8803: and he was there in the prison * h1004 * h5470.
21 But the LORD * h3068 was with Joseph * h3130, and shewed * h5186 h8799 him mercy * h2617, and gave * h5414 h8799 him favour * h2580 in the sight * h5869 of the keeper * h8269 of the prison * h1004 * h5470. shewed...: Heb. extended kindness unto him
22 And the keeper * h8269 of the prison * h1004 * h5470 committed * h5414 h8799 to Joseph's * h3130 hand * h3027 all the prisoners * h615 that were in the prison * h1004 * h5470; and whatsoever they did * h6213 h8802 there, he was the doer * h6213 h8802 of it .
23 The keeper * h8269 of the prison * h1004 * h5470 looked * h7200 h8802 not to any thing * h3972 that was under his hand * h3027; because the LORD * h3068 was with him, and that which he did * h6213 h8802, the LORD * h3068 made it to prosper * h6743 h8688.
