[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.

Joseph in Egypt

[1] And Joseph H3130 was brought down H3381 to Egypt; H4714 and Potiphar, H6318 an officer H5631 of Pharaoh, H6547 captain H8269 of the guard, H2876 an Egyptian, H376 H4713 bought him H7069 of the hands H3027 of the Ishmeelites, H3459 which H834 had brought him down H3381 thither. H8033 [2] And the Lord H3068 was H1961 with H854 Joseph, H3130 and he was H1961 a prosperous H6743 man; H376 and he was H1961 in the house H1004 of his master H113 the Egyptian. H4713 [3] And his master H113 saw H7200 that H3588 the Lord H3068 was with him, H854 and that the Lord H3068 made H6743 all H3605 that H834 he H1931 did H6213 to prosper H6743 in his hand. H3027 [4] And Joseph H3130 found H4672 grace H2580 in his sight, H5869 and he served H8334 him: H853 and he made him overseer H6485 over H5921 his house, H1004 and all H3605 that he had H3426 he put H5414 into his hand. H3027 [5] And it came to pass H1961 from the time H227 that he had made H6485 him H853 overseer H6485 in his house, H1004 and over H5921 all H3605 that H834 he had, H3426 that the Lord H3068 blessed H1288 H853 the Egyptian’s H4713 house H1004 for H1558 Joseph’s H3130 sake; H1558 and the blessing H1293 of the Lord H3068 was H1961 upon all H3605 that H834 he had H3426 in the house, H1004 and in the field. H7704 [6] And he left H5800 all H3605 that H834 he had in Joseph’s H3130 hand; H3027 and he knew H3045 not H3808 ought H3972 he had, H854 save H3588 H518 the bread H3899 which H834 he H1931 did eat. H398 And Joseph H3130 was H1961 a goodly H3303 person, H8389 and well H3303 favoured. H4758 [7] And it came to pass H1961 after H310 these H428 things, H1697 that his master’s H113 wife H802 cast H5375 H853 her eyes H5869 upon H413 Joseph; H3130 and she said, H559 Lie H7901 with me. H5973 [8] But he refused, H3985 and said H559 unto H413 his master’s H113 wife, H802 Behold, H2005 my master H113 wotteth H3045 not H3808 what H4100 is with me H854 in the house, H1004 and he hath committed H5414 all H3605 that H834 he hath H3426 to my hand; H3027 [9] there is none H369 greater H1419 in this H2088 house H1004 than I; H4480 neither H3808 hath he kept back H2820 any thing H3972 from me H4480 but H3588 H518 thee, H853 because H834 thou H859 art his wife: H802 how H349 then can I do H6213 this H2063 great H1419 wickedness, H7451 and sin H2398 against God? H430 [10] And it came to pass, H1961 as she spake H1696 to H413 Joseph H3130 day H3117 by day, H3117 that he hearkened H8085 not H3808 unto her, H413 to lie H7901 by her, H681 or to be H1961 with her. H5973 [11] And it came to pass H1961 about this H2088 time, H3117 that Joseph went H935 into the house H1004 to do H6213 his business; H4399 and there was none H369 H376 of the men H582 of the house H1004 there H8033 within. H1004 [12] And she caught him H8610 by his garment, H899 saying, H559 Lie H7901 with me: H5973 and he left H5800 his garment H899 in her hand, H3027 and fled, H5127 and got him H3318 out. H2351 [13] And it came to pass, H1961 when she saw H7200 that H3588 he had left H5800 his garment H899 in her hand, H3027 and was fled H5127 forth, H2351 [14] that she called H7121 unto the men H582 of her house, H1004 and spake H559 unto them, saying, H559 See, H7200 he hath brought in H935 an Hebrew H376 H5680 unto us to mock H6711 us; he came in H935 unto me H413 to lie H7901 with me, H5973 and I cried H7121 with a loud H1419§ voice: H6963 [15] and it came to pass, H1961 when he heard H8085 that H3588 I lifted up H7311 my voice H6963 and cried, H7121 that he left H5800 his garment H899 with me, H681 and fled, H5127 and got him H3318 out. H2351 [16] And she laid up H3240 his garment H899 by her, H681 until H5704 his lord H113 came H935 home. H413 H1004 [17] And she spake H1696 unto him H413 according to these H428 words, H1697 saying, H559 The Hebrew H5680 servant, H5650 which H834 thou hast brought H935 unto us, came in H935 unto me H413 to mock H6711 me: [18] and it came to pass, H1961 as I lifted up H7311 my voice H6963 and cried, H7121 that he left H5800 his garment H899 with me, H681 and fled H5127 out. H2351 [19] And it came to pass, H1961 when his master H113 heard H8085 H853 the words H1697 of his wife, H802 which H834 she spake H1696 unto him, H413 saying, H559 After this H428 manner H1697 did H6213 thy servant H5650 to me; that his wrath H639 was kindled. H2734 [20] And Joseph’s H3130 master H113 took H3947 him, H853 and put him H5414 into H413 the prison, H1004 H5470 a place H4725 where H834 the king’s H4428 prisoners H615 were bound: H631 and he was H1961 there H8033 in the prison. H1004 H5470 [21] But the Lord H3068 was H1961 with H854 Joseph, H3130 and shewed H5186 him H413 mercy, H2617§ and gave H5414 him favour H2580 in the sight H5869 of the keeper H8269 of the prison. H1004 H5470 [22] And the keeper H8269 of the prison H1004 H5470 committed H5414 to Joseph’s H3130 hand H3027 H853 all H3605 the prisoners H615 that H834 were in the prison; H1004 H5470 and H853 whatsoever H3605 H834 they did H6213 there, H8033 he H1931 was H1961 the doer H6213 of it. [23] The keeper H8269 of the prison H1004 H5470 looked H7200 not H369 to H853 any H3605 thing H3972 that was under his hand; H3027 because H834 the Lord H3068 was with him, H854 and that which H834 he H1931 did, H6213 the Lord H3068 made it to prosper.
