1
And Joseph was brought··down to▫ Egypt; and Potiphar, the chamberlain of Pharaoh, prince of the guards◦, an Egyptian◦ man◦, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites*, who had brought· him ·down thither.
2
And Jehovah was with◦ Joseph, and he was a man◦ who prospered; and he was in the house of his lord the Egyptian◦.
3
And his lord saw that Jehovah was with◦ him, and that Jehovah made all that he◦ did to prosper in his hand.
4
And Joseph found grace in his eyes, and he ministered to him; and he appointed him over his house, and all that he had he gave into his hand.
5
And it was, from the··time▵ that he appointed him over◦ his house, and over all that he had◦, that Jehovah blessed the house of the Egyptian◦ because··of Joseph; and the blessing of Jehovah was in all that he had◦, in the house and in the field.
6
And he left◦ all that he had◦ in the hand of Joseph; and he knew not anything that was with him, except▫ the bread which he◦ ate. And Joseph was beautiful in form◦, and beautiful in appearance.
7
And it was, after these words*, and the wife of his lord lifted··up her eyes to▵ Joseph, and she said, Lie with me.
8
And he refused, and said to▵ his lord’s wife, Behold, my lord knows not what is with◦ me in the house, and all that he has◦ he has given into my hand.
9
He is not◦ greater in this house than I; and he has not kept··back from me anything but◦ thee, because thou◦ art his wife; and how◦ shall I do this great evil, and sin to God?
10
And it was, as she spoke to▵ Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not to▵ her, to lie beside her, to be with her.
11
And it was as this day, and he came··into the house to do his work▵*; and no man◦ of the men◦ of the house was there in the house.
12
And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me; and he forsook his garment in her hand, and fled, and went··forth outside.
13
And it was as she saw that he had left◦ his garment in her hand, and had fled outside,
14
that she called to the men◦ of her house, and said to them, saying, See, he has brought us a Hebrew man◦ to mock us; he came to▵ me to lie with me, and I called with a great voice;
15
and it was, when he heard that I lifted··high my voice and called, that he left◦ his garment beside me, and fled, and went··forth outside.
16
And she placed his garment beside her, until his lord came to▵ his house.
17
And she spoke to▵ him according··to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant whom thou hast brought to▵ us, came to me to mock me;
18
and it was, as I lifted··high my voice and called, that he left◦ his garment beside me, and fled outside.
19
And it was, when◦ his lord heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to▵ him, saying, According··to these words did thy servant to me; that his anger was··fierce.
20
And Joseph’s lord took him, and put◦ him into▵ the jail house, the place where▵ the king’s bound ones were bound; and he was there in the jail house.
21
And Jehovah was with◦ Joseph, and stretched··out mercy to▵ him, and gave him grace in the eyes of the prince of the jail house.
22
And the prince of the jail house gave into Joseph’s hand all the bound ones that were in the jail house; and all that they did there, he◦ was the doer.
23
Nor did the prince of the jail house see anything of all that was in his hand, because Jehovah was with◦ him; and that which he◦ did, Jehovah made prosper.
