Genesis 39:1-21

39:1

And Joseph
<03130>

was brought down
<03381> (8717)

to Egypt
<04714>_;

and Potiphar
<06318>_,

an officer
<05631>

of Pharaoh
<06547>_,

captain
<08269>

of the guard
<02876>_,

an Egyptian
<0376> <04713>_,

bought
<07069> (8799)

him of the hands
<03027>

of the Ishmeelites
<03459>_,

which had brought him down
<03381> (8689)

thither.

39:2

And the LORD
<03068>

was with Joseph
<03130>_,

and he was a prosperous
<06743> (8688)

man
<0376>_;

and he was in the house
<01004>

of his master
<0113>

the Egyptian
<04713>_.

39:3

And his master
<0113>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that the LORD
<03068>

[was] with him, and that the LORD
<03068>

made all that he did
<06213> (8802)

to prosper
<06743> (8688)

in his hand
<03027>_.

39:4

And Joseph
<03130>

found
<04672> (8799)

grace
<02580>

in his sight
<05869>_,

and he served
<08334> (8762)

him: and he made him overseer
<06485> (8686)

over his house
<01004>_,

and all [that] he had
<03426>

he put
<05414> (8804)

into his hand
<03027>_.

39:5

And it came to pass from the time
<0227>

[that] he had made him overseer
<06485> (8689)

in his house
<01004>_,

and over all that he had
<03426>_,

that the LORD
<03068>

blessed
<01288> (8762)

the Egyptian's
<04713>

house
<01004>

for Joseph's
<03130>

sake
<01558>_;

and the blessing
<01293>

of the LORD
<03068>

was upon all that he had
<03426>

in the house
<01004>_,

and in the field
<07704>_.

39:6

And he left
<05800> (8799)

all that he had in Joseph's
<03130>

hand
<03027>_;

and he knew
<03045> (8804)

not ought
<03972>

he had, save
<0518>

the bread
<03899>

which he did eat
<0398> (8802)_.

And Joseph
<03130>

was [a] goodly
<08389>

[person], and well
<03303>

favoured
<04758>_.

39:7

And it came to pass after
<0310>

these things
<01697>_,

that his master's
<0113>

wife
<0802>

cast
<05375> (8799)

her eyes
<05869>

upon Joseph
<03130>_;

and she said
<0559> (8799)_,

Lie
<07901> (8798)

with me.

39:8

But he refused
<03985> (8762)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto his master's
<0113>

wife
<0802>_,

Behold, my master
<0113>

wotteth
<03045> (8804)

not what [is] with me in the house
<01004>_,

and he hath committed
<05414> (8804)

all that he hath
<03426>

to my hand
<03027>_;

39:9

[There is] none greater
<01419>

in this house
<01004>

than I; neither
<03808>

hath he kept back
<02820> (8804)

any thing
<03972>

from me but thee, because
<0834>

thou
<0859>

[art] his wife
<0802>_:

how then can I do
<06213> (8799)

this great
<01419>

wickedness
<07451>_,

and sin
<02398> (8804)

against God
<0430>_?

39:10

And it came to pass, as she spake
<01696> (8763)

to Joseph
<03130>

day
<03117>

by day
<03117>_,

that he hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not unto her, to lie
<07901> (8800)

by her
<0681>_,

[or] to be with her.

39:11

And it came to pass about this time
<03117>_,

that [Joseph] went
<0935> (8799)

into the house
<01004>

to do
<06213> (8800)

his business
<04399>_;

and [there was] none of the men
<0376> <0582>

of the house
<01004>

there within.

39:12

And she caught
<08610> (8799)

him by his garment
<0899>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Lie
<07901> (8798)

with me: and he left
<05800> (8799)

his garment
<0899>

in her hand
<03027>_,

and fled
<05127> (8799)_,

and got
<03318> (8799)

him out
<02351>_.

39:13

And it came to pass, when she saw
<07200> (8800)

that he had left
<05800> (8804)

his garment
<0899>

in her hand
<03027>_,

and was fled
<05127> (8799)

forth
<02351>_,

39:14

That she called
<07121> (8799)

unto the men
<0582>

of her house
<01004>_,

and spake
<0559> (8799)

unto them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

See
<07200> (8798)_,

he hath brought in
<0935> (8689)

an Hebrew
<0376> <05680>

unto us to mock
<06711> (8763)

us; he came in
<0935> (8804)

unto me to lie
<07901> (8800)

with me, and I cried
<07121> (8799)

with a loud
<01419>

voice
<06963>_:

{loud: Heb. great}

39:15

And it came to pass, when he heard
<08085> (8800)

that I lifted up
<07311> (8689)

my voice
<06963>

and cried
<07121> (8799)_,

that he left
<05800> (8799)

his garment
<0899>

with me
<0681>_,

and fled
<05127> (8799)_,

and got him
<03318> (8799)

out
<02351>_.

39:16

And she laid up
<03240> (8686)

his garment
<0899>

by her
<0681>_,

until his lord
<0113>

came
<0935> (8800)

home
<01004>_.

39:17

And she spake
<01696> (8762)

unto him according to these words
<01697>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The Hebrew
<05680>

servant
<05650>_,

which thou hast brought
<0935> (8689)

unto us, came in
<0935> (8804)

unto me to mock
<06711> (8763)

me:

39:18

And it came to pass, as I lifted up
<07311> (8687)

my voice
<06963>

and cried
<07121> (8799)_,

that he left
<05800> (8799)

his garment
<0899>

with me
<0681>_,

and fled
<05127> (8799)

out
<02351>_.

39:19

And it came to pass, when his master
<0113>

heard
<08085> (8800)

the words
<01697>

of his wife
<0802>_,

which she spake
<01696> (8765)

unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

After this manner
<01697>

did
<06213> (8804)

thy servant
<05650>

to me; that his wrath
<0639>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)_.

39:20

And Joseph's
<03130>

master
<0113>

took
<03947> (8799)

him, and put him
<05414> (8799)

into the prison
<01004> <05470>_,

a place
<04725>

where the king's
<04428>

prisoners
<0615>

[were] bound
<0631> (8803)_:

and he was there in the prison
<01004> <05470>_.

39:21

But the LORD
<03068>

was with Joseph
<03130>_,

and shewed
<05186> (8799)

him mercy
<02617>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

him favour
<02580>

in the sight
<05869>

of the keeper
<08269>

of the prison
<01004> <05470>_.

{shewed...: Heb. extended kindness unto him}
