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.

1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hands of the Ishmeelites, who had brought him down there.

2 But the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prospered man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

3 And his master saw that the LORD [was] with him and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

4 So Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him; and he made him overseer over his house, and all [that] he had he put into his hand.

5 And it came to pass from the time [that] he had made him overseer in his house and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house and in the field.

6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and with him knew [of] nothing more than of the bread which he ate. And Joseph was handsome and well favoured.

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.

8 But he refused and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master does not know what [is] with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand;

9 [there is] none greater in this house than I; neither has 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?

10 And it came to pass as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not hearken unto her, to lie by her [or] to be with her.

11 And it came to pass about this time, that [Joseph] went into the house to do his business, and none of those of the house were there within.

12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me; and he left his garment in her hand and fled and got outside.

13 And it came to pass when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled forth,

14 that she called unto those of her house and spoke unto them, saying, See, he has 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;

15 and it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me and fled and left.

16 And she laid up his garment by her until his lord came home.

17 And she spoke unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to dishonour me;

18 and when I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment with me and fled out.

19 And it came to pass when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant treat me, that his wrath was kindled.

20 And Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners [were] bound; and he was there in the prison.

21 But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him mercy and gave him grace in the sight of the prince of the house of the prison.

22 And the prince of the house of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that [were] in the prison; and whatever they did there, he was the doer of [it].

23 The prince of the prison looked not to anything [that was] under his hand because the LORD was with him, and [that] which he did, the LORD made [it] to prosper.:
