1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh`s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites, that had brought him down thither. ASV — Genesis 39:1
2 And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. ASV — Genesis 39:2
3 And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand. ASV — Genesis 39:3
4 And Joseph found favor in his sight, and he ministered unto him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand. ASV — Genesis 39:4
5 And it came to pass from the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian`s house for Joseph`s sake; and the blessing of Jehovah was upon all that he had, in the house and in the field. ASV — Genesis 39:5
6 And he left all that he had in Joseph`s hand; and he knew not aught [that was] with him, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was comely, and well-favored. ASV — Genesis 39:6
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master`s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me. ASV — Genesis 39:7
8 But he refused, and said unto his master`s wife, Behold, my master knoweth not what is with me in the house, and he hath put all that he hath into my hand: ASV — Genesis 39:8
9 he is not greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? ASV — Genesis 39:9
10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, [or] to be with her. ASV — Genesis 39:10
11 And it came to pass about this time, that he went into the house to do his work; and there was none of the men of the house there within. ASV — Genesis 39:11
12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out. ASV — Genesis 39:12
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, ASV — Genesis 39:13
14 that she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in a Hebrew unto us to mock us: he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice: ASV — Genesis 39:14
15 and it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled, and got him out. ASV — Genesis 39:15
16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his master came home. ASV — Genesis 39:16
17 And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me: ASV — Genesis 39:17
18 and it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled out. ASV — Genesis 39:18
19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled. ASV — Genesis 39:19
20 And 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 the prison. ASV — Genesis 39:20
21 But Jehovah was with Joseph, and showed kindness unto him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. ASV — Genesis 39:21
22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph`s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it. ASV — Genesis 39:22
23 The keeper of the prison looked not to anything that was under his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and that which he did, Jehovah made it prosper. ASV — Genesis 39:23
