1 Josipa dovedoše u Egipat. Tu ga od Jišmaelaca koji su ga onamo doveli kupi Egipćanin Potifar, dvoranin faraonov i zapovjednik njegove tjelesne straže.

2 Jahve je bio s Josipom, zato je u svemu imao sreću: Egipćanin ga uzme k sebi u kuću.

3 Vidje njegov gospodar da je Jahve s njim i da svemu što mu ruka poduzme Jahve daje uspjeh;

4 zavolje on Josipa, uze ga za dvoranina i postavi ga za upravitelja svoga doma i povjeri mu sav svoj imetak.

5 I otkad mu je povjerio upravu svoga doma i svega svog imetka, blagoslovi Jahve dom Egipćaninov zbog Josipa: blagoslov Jahvin bijaše na svemu što je imao - u kući i u polju.

6 I tako sve svoje prepusti brizi Josipovoj te se više ni za što nije brinuo, osim za jelo što je jeo. A Josip je bio mladić stasit i naočit.

7 Poslije nekog vremena žena njegova gospodara zagleda se u Josipa i reče mu: "Legni sa mnom!"

8 On se oprije i reče ženi svoga gospodara: "Gledaj! Otkako sam ja ovdje, moj se gospodar ne brine ni za što u kući; sve što ima meni je povjerio.

9 On u ovoj kući nema više vlasti negoli ja i ništa mi ne krati, osim tebe, jer si njegova žena. Pa kako bih ja mogao učiniti tako veliku opačinu i sagriješiti protiv Boga!"

10 Iako je Josipa salijetala iz dana u dan, on nije pristajao da uz nju legne; nije joj prilazio.

11 Jednog dana Josip uđe u kuću na posao. Kako nikog od služinčadi nije bilo u kući,

12 ona ga uhvati za ogrtač i reče: "Legni sa mnom!" Ali on ostavi svoj ogrtač u njezinoj ruci, otrže se i pobježe van.

13 Vidjevši ona da je u njezinoj ruci ostavio ogrtač i pobjegao van,

14 zovne svoje sluge te im reče: "Gledajte! Trebalo je da nam dovede jednog Hebrejca da se s nama poigrava. Taj k meni dođe da sa mnom legne, ali sam ja na sav glas zaviknula.

15 A čim je čuo kako vičem, ostavi svoj ogrtač pokraj mene i pobježe van."

16 Uza se je držala njegov ogrtač dok mu je gospodar došao kući.

17 Onda i njemu kaza istu priču: "Onaj sluga Hebrejac koga si nam doveo dođe k meni da sa mnom ljubaka!

18 Ali čim je čuo kako vičem, ostavi svoj ogrtač pokraj mene i pobježe van."

19 Kad je njegov gospodar čuo pripovijest svoje žene koja reče: "Eto, tako sa mnom tvoj sluga", razgnjevi se.

20 Gospodar pograbi Josipa i baci ga u tamnicu - tamo gdje su bili zatvoreni kraljevi utamničenici. I osta u tamnici.

21 Ali je Jahve bio s njim, iskaza naklonost Josipu te on nađe milost u očima upravitelja tamnice.

22 Tako upravitelj tamnice preda u Josipove ruke sve utamničenike koji su se nalazili u tamnici; i ondje se ništa nije radilo bez njega.

23 Budući da je Jahve bio s njim, upravitelj tamnice nije nadgledao ništa što je Josipu bilo povjereno: Jahve bijaše s njim, i što god bi poduzeo, Jahve bi to okrunio uspjehom.

1921. 'Do to her what is good in your eyes' means complete control over. This is clear without explanation. In the internal sense these words represent and mean that by His own power the Lord overcame, subdued, and cast out the evil which from what was hereditary had wormed itself also into this first rational, for, as has been stated, the rational was conceived from the Internal Man, which was Jehovah, as a father, and born from the exterior as a mother. Whatever was born from the exterior man possessed this hereditary element within it, thus evil as well. This was what the Lord overcame, subdued, and cast out by His own power and at length made Divine. The fact that He did so by His own power is clear from every single detail in this verse - the comment, 'Your servant-girl is in your hand' which means that He had this rational under His controlling power, followed next by 'so to her what is good in your eyes' which means complete control over it; and immediately after that 'Sarai humiliated her' which means subjection.

[2] These things were said to Sarai, who represents intellectual truth which the Lord Himself had and was the source from which He thought, as stated above in 1904, 1914, and from this truth He had complete control over the rational and also over the natural that was part of the exterior man. Anyone who thinks from intellectual truth and perceives from Divine good - which good was also His because it was the Father's, for He had no other soul - cannot do other than act from the power that is his own. Since therefore by His own power He tamed and cast out the evil present by heredity, it was by His own power as well that He united the Human Essence to the Divine Essence - the one being a consequence of the other.

[3] One who is conceived from Jehovah has no other Internal, that is, has none but Jehovah as his soul; for that reason He was as regards His very life itself Jehovah Himself. Jehovah, or the Divine Essence, cannot be divided in the way a human father's soul from which a child is conceived can be divided. To the extent the offspring moves away from the likeness of its father it moves away from the father himself, more and more so as it grows older. This is why a father's love for his children diminishes as they grow older. In the Lord's case it was different. As He grew older He did not so move away as regards the Human Essence but constantly drew closer until perfect union was achieved. From this it is clear that He is identical with Jehovah the Father, as He Himself also plainly teaches in John 14:6, 8-11.
