Genesis 39

Joseph's Success in Egypt

1

Now Josephh3130 had been takenh3381 downh3381 to Egypth4714; and Potipharh6318, an Egyptianh4713 officerh5631 of Pharaohh6547, the captainh8269 of the bodyguardh2876, boughth7069 him  1from the  aIshmaelitesh3459, whoh834 had takenh3381 him downh3381 thereh8033.

2

 aThe LORDh3068 was with Josephh3130, so he becameh1961 a  1successfulh6743b manh376. And he was in the househ1004 of his masterh113, the Egyptianh4713.

3

Now his masterh113  asawh7200 that the LORDh3068 was with him and how the LORDh3068  bcaused allh3605 that he didh6213a to prosperh6743b in his handh3027.

4

So Josephh3130  afoundh4672 favorh2580 in his sighth5869 and  1becameh8334 his personalh8334 servanth8334; and he madeh6485 him overseerh6485 overh5921 his househ1004, and  ballh3605 that he ownedh3426 he puth5414 in his  2chargeh3027.

5

It cameh1961 about that from the timeh227 he madeh6485 him overseerh6485 in his househ1004 and overh5921 allh3605 that he ownedh3426, the LORDh3068  ablessedh1288 the Egyptian'sh4713 househ1004 on accounth1558 of Josephh3130; thus  bthe LORD'Sh3068 blessingh1293 was upon allh3605 that he ownedh3426, in the househ1004 and in the fieldh7704.

6

So he lefth5800a everythingh3605 he owned in Joseph'sh3130  1chargeh3027; and with him there he did not  2concernh3045 himself with anythingh3972 excepth3588h518 the  3foodh3899 whichh834 he  4ateh398.

Now Josephh3130 was  ahandsomeh3303 in formh8389 and appearanceh4758.

7

It cameh1961 about afterh310 theseh428 eventsh1697  athat his master'sh113 wifeh802  1lookedh5375h5869 with desireh5375 at Josephh3130, and she saidh559, " bLieh7901 with me."

8

But  ahe refusedh3985 and saidh559 to his master'sh113 wifeh802, "Beholdh2005, with me here, my masterh113  1does not concernh3045 himself with anythingh4100 in the househ1004, and he has puth5414 allh3605 that he ownsh3426 in my  2chargeh3027.

9

1 aThereh369 is noh369 one greaterh1419 in thish2088 househ1004 thanh4480 I, and he has withheldh2820 nothingh3808h3972 from me excepth3588h518 you, becauseh834 you are his wifeh802. Howh349 then could I doh6213a thish2088 greath1419 evilh7463a and  bsinh2398 against Godh430?"

10

As she spokeh1696 to Josephh3130 dayh3117 after dayh3117, he did not listenh8085 to her to lieh7901 besideh681a her or be with her.

11

Now it happenedh1961  1oneh2088 dayh3117 that he wenth935 into the househ1004 to doh6213a his workh4399, and noneh369h376 of the menh376 of the householdh1004 was thereh8033 insideh1004.

12

She caughth8610 him by his garmenth899b, sayingh559, "Lieh7901 with me!" And he lefth5800a his garmenth899b in her handh3027 and fledh5127, and wenth3318 outsideh2351.

13

 1When she sawh7200 that he had lefth5800a his garmenth899b in her handh3027 and had fledh5127 outsideh2351,

14

she calledh7121 to the menh376 of her householdh1004 and saidh559 to them, "Seeh7200, he has broughth935 in a  1Hebrewh5680 to us to makeh6711 sporth6711 of us; he cameh935 in to me to lieh7901 with me, and I  2screamedh7121h6963h1419.

15

"When he heardh8085 that I raisedh7311 my voiceh6963 and  1screamedh7121, he lefth5800a his garmenth899b besideh681a me and fledh5127 and wenth3318 outsideh2351."

16

So she  1lefth5117 his garmenth899b besideh681a her untilh5704 his masterh113 cameh935 homeh1004.

17

Then she  aspokeh1696 to him  1with theseh428 wordsh1697, " 2The Hebrewh5680 slaveh5650, whomh834 you broughth935 to us, cameh935 in to me to makeh6711 sporth6711 of me;

18

and as I raisedh7311 my voiceh6963 and  1screamedh7121, he lefth5800a his garmenth899b besideh681a me and fledh5127 outsideh2351."

Joseph Imprisoned

19

Now when his masterh113 heardh8085 the wordsh1697 of his wifeh802, whichh834 she spokeh1696 to him, sayingh559, " 1Thish1697h428 is whath1697 your slaveh5650 didh6213a to me,"  ahis angerh639 burnedh2734.

20

So Joseph'sh3130 masterh113 tookh3947 him and  aputh5414 him into the jailh1004h5470, the placeh4725 whereh834 the king'sh4428 prisonersh615 were confinedh631; and he was thereh8033 in the jailh1004h5470.

21

But  athe LORDh3068 was with Josephh3130 and extendedh5186 kindnessh2617a to him, and  bgaveh5414 him favorh2580 in the sighth5869 of the chiefh8269 jailerh1004h5470.

22

The chiefh8269 jailerh1004h5470  acommittedh5414 to Joseph'sh3130  1chargeh3027 allh3605 the prisonersh615 whoh834 were in the jailh1004h5470; so that whateverh3605h834 was doneh6213a thereh8033, he was  2responsibleh6213a for it.

23

 aThe chiefh8269 jailerh1004h5470 did not superviseh7200 anythingh3605h3972 under  1Joseph's chargeh3027 becauseh834  bthe LORDh3068 was with him; and whateverh834 he didh6213a,  cthe LORDh3068 made to prosperh6743b.
