1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an of­fi­cer of Pharaoh, cap­tain of the guard, an Egyp­tian, bought him of the hands of the Ish­meel­ites, which had brought him down thith­er. 2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a pros­per­ous 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 And 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 he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a good­ly person, 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 wot­teth not what is with me in the house, and he hath com­mit­ted all that he hath to my hand; 9 There is none greater in this house than I; nei­ther hath he kept back any thing 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 spake to Joseph day by day, that he hear­kened not 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 there was none of the men of the house 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 him out. 13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his gar­ment in her hand, and was fled forth, 14 That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, say­ing, See, he hath brought in an 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 got him out. 16 And she laid up his gar­ment by her, un­til his lord came home. 17 And she spake unto him ac­cord­ing to these words, say­ing, The He­brew ser­vant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me: 18 And it came to pass, as I lift­ed up my voice and cried, that 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 spake unto him, say­ing, Af­ter this man­ner did thy ser­vant to 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 shewed him mer­cy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keep­er of the prison. 22 And the keep­er of the prison com­mit­ted to Joseph's hand all the pris­on­ers that were in the prison; and what­so­ev­er they did there, he was the doer of it. 23 The keep­er of the prison looked not to any thing that was un­der his hand; be­cause the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to pros­per.
