And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh-s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites, which had brought him down thither.
And it came to pass from the time that he 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.
And he left all that he had in Joseph-s hand; and he knew not aught {cf15i that was} with him, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was comely, and well favoured.
But he refused, and said unto his master-s wife, Behold, my master knoweth not what is with me in the house, and he hath put all that he hath into my hand;
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?
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:
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.
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.
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.
