Genesis 39 (WEBP)

[1] Joseph was brought down to Egypt. Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites that had brought him down there.
[2] Yahweh was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
[3] His master saw that Yahweh was with him, and that Yahweh made all that he did prosper in his hand.
[4] Joseph found favor in his sight. He ministered to him, and Potiphar made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
[5] From the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, Yahweh blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake. Yahweh’s blessing was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.
[6] He left all that he had in Joseph’s hand. He didn’t concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Joseph was well-built and handsome.
[7] After these things, his master’s wife set her eyes on Joseph; and she said, “Lie with me.”
[8] But he refused, and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, my master doesn’t know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.
[9] No one is greater in this house than I am, and he has not kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”
[10] As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn’t listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
[11] About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.
[12] She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.
[13] When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,
[14] she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, “Behold, he has brought a Hebrew in to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
[15] When he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
[16] She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
[17] She spoke to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me,
[18] and as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
[19] When his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” his wrath was kindled.
[20] 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 custody.
[21] But Yahweh was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
[22] The keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, he was responsible for it.
[23] The keeper of the prison didn’t look after anything that was under his hand, because Yahweh was with him; and that which he did, Yahweh made it prosper.

Young’s Literal Translation

Genesis 39 (YLT)

[1] And Joseph hath been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners, an Egyptian man, buyeth him out of the hands of the Ishmaelites who have brought him thither.
[2] And Jehovah is with Joseph, and he is a prosperous man, and he is in the house of his lord the Egyptian,
[3] and his lord seeth that Jehovah is with him, and all that he is doing Jehovah is causing to prosper in his hand,
[4] and Joseph findeth grace in his eyes and serveth him, and he appointeth him over his house, and all that he hath he hath given into his hand.
[5] And it cometh to pass from the time that he hath appointed him over his house, and over all that he hath, that Jehovah blesseth the house of the Egyptian for Joseph’s sake, and the blessing of Jehovah is on all that he hath, in the house, and in the field;
[6] and he leaveth all that he hath in the hand of Joseph, and he hath not known anything that he hath, except the bread which he is eating. And Joseph is of a fair form, and of a fair appearance.
[7] And it cometh to pass after these things, that his lord’s wife lifteth up her eyes unto Joseph, and saith, ‘Lie with me;’
[8] and he refuseth, and saith unto his lord’s wife, ‘Lo, my lord hath not known what is with me in the house, and all that he hath he hath given into my hand;
[9] none is greater in this house than I, and he hath not withheld from me anything, except thee, because thou art his wife; and how shall I do this great evil?-then have I sinned against God.’
[10] And it cometh to pass at her speaking unto Joseph day by day, that he hath not hearkened unto her, to lie near her, to be with her;
[11] and it cometh to pass about this day, that he goeth into the house to do his work, and there is none of the men of the house there in the house,
[12] and she catcheth him by his garment, saying, ‘Lie with me;’ and he leaveth his garment in her hand, and fleeth, and goeth without.
[13] And it cometh to pass when she seeth that he hath left his garment in her hand, and fleeth without,
[14] that she calleth for the men of her house, and speaketh to them, saying, ‘See, he hath brought in to us a man, a Hebrew, to play with us; he hath come in unto me, to lie with me, and I call with a loud voice,
[15] and it cometh to pass, when he heareth that I have lifted up my voice and call, that he leaveth his garment near me, and fleeth, and goeth without.’
[16] And she placeth his garment near her, until the coming in of his lord unto his house.
[17] And she speaketh unto him according to these words, saying, ‘The Hebrew servant whom thou hast brought unto us, hath come in unto me to play with me;
[18] and it cometh to pass, when I lift my voice and call, that he leaveth his garment near me, and fleeth without.’
[19] And it cometh to pass when his lord heareth the words of his wife, which she hath spoken unto him, saying, ‘According to these things hath thy servant done to me,’ that his anger burneth;
[20] and Joseph’s lord taketh him, and putteth him unto the round-house, a place where the king’s prisoners are bound; and he is there in the round-house.
[21] And Jehovah is with Joseph, and stretcheth out kindness unto him, and putteth his grace in the eyes of the chief of the round-house;
[22] and the chief of the round-house giveth into the hand of Joseph all the prisoners who are in the round-house, and of all that they are doing there, he hath been doer;
[23] the chief of the round-house seeth not anything under his hand, because Jehovah is with him, and that which he is doing Jehovah is causing to prosper.
