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  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 on 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 should 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 on Joseph ; and she said , Lie  8 But he refused , and said to his master's wife , See, my master know not what [is] with me in the house , and he has committed all that he has to my hand  9 [There is] none greater in this house than I; neither has he kept back any thing from me but you, because you [are] his wife : how then can I do this great wickedness , and sin against God  10 And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day , that he listened not to her, to lie by 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  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 forward  14 That she called to the men of her house , and spoke to them, saying , See , he has brought us a Hebrew  to mock us; he came in to 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 spoke to him according to these words , saying , The Hebrew servant , which you have brought to us, came in to me to mock  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 spoke to him, saying , After this manner did your 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 showed 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 anything they did there, he was the doer  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
