Genesis 39

1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt. And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down there.

Now Ioseph was brought downe into Egypt: and Potiphar an Eunuche of Pharaohs (and his chiefe stewarde an Egyptian) bought him at the hande of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him thither.

2 And Jehovah was with Joseph. And he was a man who succeeds. And he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

And the Lord was with Ioseph, and he was a man that prospered and was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

3 And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

And his master sawe that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that hee did to prosper in his hande.

4 And Joseph found favor in his sight, and he ministered to him. And he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.

So Ioseph founde fauour in his sight, and serued him: and he made him ruler of his house, and put all that he had in his hand.

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.

And from that time that he had made him ruler ouer his house and ouer all that he had, the Lord blessed the Egyptians house for Iosephs sake: and the blessing of the Lord was vpon all that he had in the house, and in the fielde.

6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and he knew nothing that was with him, save the bread which he ate. And Joseph was comely, and well-favored.

Therefore he left all that he had in Iosephs hand, and tooke accompt of nothing, that was with him, saue onely of the bread, which he did eate. And Ioseph was a faire person, and well fauoured.

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.

Nowe therefore after these thinges, his masters wife cast her eyes vpon Ioseph, and saide, Lye with me.

8 But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.

But he refused and said to his masters wife, Beholde, my master knoweth not what he hath in the house with me, but hath committed all that he hath to mine hande.

9 He is not greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but thee, because thou are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

There is no man greater in this house then I: neither hath he kept any thing from me, but only thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickednes and so sinne against God?

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

And albeit she spake to Ioseph day by day, yet he hearkened not vnto her, to lye with her, or to be in her company.

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 inside.

Then on a certaine day Ioseph entred into the house, to doe his businesse: and there was no man of the houshold in the house:

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

Therefore she caught him by his garmet, saying, Sleepe with me: but he left his garment in her hand and fled, and got him out.

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

Nowe when she sawe that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled out,

14 that she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.

She called vnto the men of her house, and tolde them, saying, Beholde, he hath brought in an Ebrewe vnto vs to mocke vs: who came in to me for to haue slept with me: but I cryed with a loude voyce.

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 out.

And when he heard that I lift vp my voice and cryed, he left his garment with me, and fled away, and got him out.

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

So she layde vp his garment by her, vntill her lord came home.

17 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom thou have brought to us, came in to me to mock me.

Then she tolde him according to these words, saying, The Ebrew seruat, which thou hast brought vnto vs, came in to me, to mocke me.

18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled out.

But assoone as I lift vp my voyce 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 to him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me, that his wrath was kindled.

Then when his master heard the wordes of his wife, which she tolde him, saying, After this maner did thy seruant to me, his anger was kindled.

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.

And Iosephs master tooke him and put him in prison, in the place, where the kings prisoners lay bounde: and there he was in prison.

21 But Jehovah was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

But the Lord was with Ioseph, and shewed him mercie, and got him fauour in the sight of the master of the prison.

22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. And whatever they did there, he was the doer of it.

And the keeper of the prison committed to Iosephs hande all the prisoners that were in the prison, and whatsoeuer they did there, that did he.

23 The keeper of the prison did not look to anything that was under his hand, because Jehovah was with him, and that which he did, Jehovah made it prosper.

And the keeper of the prison looked vnto nothing that was vnder his hande, seeing that the Lord was with him: for whatsoeuer he did, the Lord made it to prosper.
