39:1
BSB
Meanwhile, Joseph had been taken down to Egypt, where an Egyptian named Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.
39:2
BSB
And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, serving in the household of his Egyptian master.
39:3
BSB
When his master saw that the LORD was with him and made him prosper in all he did,
39:4
BSB
Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household and entrusted him with everything he owned.
39:5
BSB
From the time that he put Joseph in charge of his household and all he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s household on account of him. The LORD’s blessing was on everything he owned, both in his house and in his field.
39:6
BSB
So Potiphar left all that he owned in Joseph’s care; he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome,
39:7
BSB
and after some time his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.”
39:8
BSB
But he refused. “Look,” he said to his master’s wife, “with me here, my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has entrusted everything he owns to my care.
39:9
BSB
No one in this house is greater than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do such a great evil and sin against God?”
39:10
BSB
Although Potiphar’s wife spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be near her.
39:11
BSB
One day, however, Joseph went into the house to attend to his work, and not a single household servant was inside.
39:12
BSB
She grabbed Joseph by his cloak and said, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his cloak in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.
39:13
BSB
When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,
39:14
BSB
she called her household servants. “Look,” she said, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us. He came to me so he could sleep with me, but I screamed as loud as I could.
39:15
BSB
When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
39:16
BSB
So Potiphar’s wife kept Joseph’s cloak beside her until his master came home.
39:17
BSB
Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me,
39:18
BSB
but when I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
39:19
BSB
When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your slave did to me,” he burned with anger.
39:20
BSB
So Joseph’s master took him and had him thrown into the prison where the king’s prisoners were confined. While Joseph was there in the prison,
39:21
BSB
the LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.
39:22
BSB
And the warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care, so that he was responsible for all that was done in the prison.
39:23
BSB
The warden did not concern himself with anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.
