Genesis 39

1 And Joseph he had been brought down Egypt towards and he bought him Potiphar [the] official of Pharaoh [the] commander of the bodyguards a man an Egyptian from [the] hand of the Ishmaelites who they had brought down him there towards.

Now Joseph was taken down to Egypt; and Potiphar the Egyptian, a captain of high position in Pharaoh's house, got him for a price from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.

2 And he was Yahweh with Joseph and he was a man successful and he was in [the] house of master his the Egyptian.

And the Lord was with Joseph, and he did well; and he was living in the house of his master the Egyptian.

3 And he saw master his that Yahweh [was] with him and all that he [was] doing Yahweh [was] making successful in hand his.

And his master saw that the Lord was with him, making everything he did go well.

4 And he found Joseph favor in view his and he served him and he appointed him over household his and all [that] there [belonged] to him he gave in hand his.

And having a high opinion of Joseph as his servant, he made him the overseer of his house and gave him control over all he had.

5 And it was from then he appointed him in household his and over all that there [belonged] to him and he blessed Yahweh [the] household of the Egyptian on account of Joseph and it was [the] blessing of Yahweh on all that there [belonged] to him in the house and in the field.

And from the time when he made him overseer and gave him control of all his property, the blessing of the Lord was with the Egyptian, because of Joseph; the blessing of the Lord was on all he had, in the house and in the field.

6 And he left all that [belonged] to him in [the] hand of Joseph and not he knew with him anything that except the food which he [was] eating and he was Joseph handsome of form and handsome of appearance.

And he gave Joseph control of all his property, keeping no account of anything, but only the food which was put before him. Now Joseph was very beautiful in form and face.

7 And it was after the things these and she lifted up [the] wife of master his eyes her to Joseph and she said lie! with me.

And after a time, his master's wife, looking on Joseph with desire, said to him, Be my lover.

8 And he refused - and he said to [the] wife of master his here! lord my not he knows with me what? [is] in the house and all that there [belongs] to him he has given in hand my.

But he would not, and said to her, You see that my master keeps no account of what I do in his house, and has put all his property in my control;

9 Not [is] he great in the household this more than me and not he has withheld from me anything that except you in that you [are] wife his and how? will I do the evil great this and I will sin to God.

So that no one has more authority in this house than I have; he has kept nothing back from me but you, because you are his wife; how then may I do this great wrong, sinning against God?

10 And it was when spoke she to Joseph day - day and not he listened to her to lie beside her to be with her.

And day after day she went on requesting Joseph to come to her and be her lover, but he would not give ear to her.

11 And it was when the day this and he went the house towards to do work his and not anyone from [the] men of the house [was] there in the house.

Now one day he went into the house to do his work; and not one of the men of the house was inside.

12 And she seized him by clothing his saying lie! with me and he left clothing his in hand her and he fled and he went out the outside towards.

And pulling at his coat, she said, Come to my bed; but slipping out of his coat, he went running away.

13 And it was when saw she that he had left clothing his in hand her and he had fled the outside towards.

And when she saw that he had got away, letting her keep his coat,

14 And she called out to [the] men of household her and she said to them saying see he has brought to us a man a Hebrew to mock us he came to me to lie with me and I called out with a voice great.

She sent for the men of her house and said to them, See, he has let a Hebrew come here and make sport of us; he came to my bed, and I gave a loud cry;

15 And it was when heard he that I raised voice my and I called out and he left clothing his beside me and he fled and he went out the outside towards.

And hearing it he went running out without his coat.

16 And she placed clothing his beside her until came master his to house his.

And she kept his coat by her, till his master came back.

17 And she spoke to him according to the words these saying he came to me the servant the Hebrew whom you brought to us to mock me.

Then she gave him the same story, saying, The Hebrew servant whom you have taken into our house came in to make sport of me;

18 And it was when raised I voice my and I called out and he left clothing his beside me and he fled the outside towards.

And when I gave a loud cry he went running out without his coat.

19 And it was when heard master his [the] words of wife his which she spoke to him saying according to the things these he did to me servant your and it burned anger his.

And hearing his wife's account of what his servant had done, he became very angry.

20 And he took [the] master of Joseph him and he put him into [the] house of the prison [the] place where ([the] prisoners of *Q(K)*) the king [were] imprisoned and he was there in [the] house of the prison.

And Joseph's master took him and put him in prison, in the place where the king's prisoners were kept in chains, and he was there in the prison-house.

21 And he was Yahweh with Joseph and he extended to him covenant loyalty and he gave favor his in [the] eyes of [the] commander of [the] house of the prison.

But the Lord was with Joseph, and was good to him, and made the keeper of the prison his friend.

22 And he gave [the] commander of [the] house of the prison in [the] hand of Joseph all the prisoners who [were] in [the] house of the prison and all that [they were] doing there he he was doing.

And the keeper of the prison put all the prisoners under Joseph's control, and he was responsible for whatever was done there.

23 Not - [the] commander of [the] house of the prison [was] seeing all anything in hand his in that Yahweh [was] with him and [that] which he [was] doing Yahweh [was] making successful.

And the keeper of the prison gave no attention to anything which was under his care, because the Lord was with him; and the Lord made everything he did go well.
