Genesis 39

1 Joseph advanceth in Potiphar's house. 7 He resisteth his mistress' temptation. 13 He is falsely accused. 20 He is cast in prison. 21 God is with him there.

 39:1 ¶ And Joseph 3130 was brought down 3381 z8717 to Egypt; 4714 and Potiphar, 6318 an officer 5631 of Pharaoh, 6547 captain 8269 of the guard, 2876 an Egyptian, 376 4713 bought 7069 z8799 him of the hands 3027 x4480 of the Ishmeelites, 3459 which x834 had brought him down 3381 z8689 thither. x8033

 39:2 And the LORD 3068 was x1961 with x854 Joseph, 3130 and he was x1961 a prosperous 6743 z8688 man; 376 and he was x1961 in the house 1004 of his master 113 the Egyptian. 4713

 39:3 And his master 113 saw 7200 z8799 that x3588 the LORD 3068 [was] with x854 him, and that the LORD 3068 made all x3605 that x834 he x1931 did 6213 z8802 to prosper 6743 z8688 in his hand. 3027

 39:4 And Joseph 3130 found 4672 z8799 grace 2580 in his sight, 5869 and he served 8334 z8762 him: and he made him overseer 6485 z8686 over x5921 his house, 1004 and all x3605 [that] he had 3426 he put 5414 z8804 into his hand. 3027

 39:5 And it came to pass x1961 from the time 227 x4480 [that] he had made him overseer 6485 z8689 x853 in his house, 1004 and over x5921 all x3605 that x834 he had, 3426 that the LORD 3068 blessed 1288 z8762 x853 the Egyptian's 4713 house 1004 for Joseph's y3130 sake; 1558 x3130 and the blessing 1293 of the LORD 3068 was x1961 upon all x3605 that x834 he had 3426 in the house, 1004 and in the field. 7704

 39:6 And he left 5800 z8799 all x3605 that x834 he had in Joseph's 3130 hand; 3027 and he knew 3045 z8804 not x3808 ought 3972 he had, x854 save 518 x3588 the bread 3899 which x834 he x1931 did eat. 398 z8802 And Joseph 3130 was x1961 [a] goodly 8389 x3303 [person], and well 3303 favoured. 4758

 39:7 ¶ And it came to pass x1961 after 310 these x428 things, 1697 that his master's 113 wife 802 cast 5375 z8799 x853 her eyes 5869 upon x413 Joseph; 3130 and she said, 559 z8799 Lie 7901 z8798 with x5973 me.

 39:8 But he refused, 3985 z8762 and said 559 z8799 unto x413 his master's 113 wife, 802 Behold, x2005 my master 113 wotteth 3045 z8804 not x3808 what x4100 [is] with x854 me in the house, 1004 and he hath committed 5414 z8804 all x3605 that x834 he hath 3426 to my hand; 3027

 39:9 [There is] none x369 greater 1419 in this x2088 house 1004 than x4480 I; neither 3808 hath he kept back 2820 z8804 any thing 3972 from x4480 me but x3588 x518 thee, because 834 thou 859 [art] his wife: 802 how x349 then can I do 6213 z8799 this x2063 great 1419 wickedness, 7451 and sin 2398 z8804 against God? 430

 39:10 And it came to pass, x1961 as she spake 1696 z8763 to x413 Joseph 3130 day 3117 by day, 3117 that he hearkened 8085 z8804 not x3808 unto x413 her, to lie 7901 z8800 by x681 her, y681 [or] to be x1961 with x5973 her.

 39:11 And it came to pass x1961 about this x2088 time, 3117 that [Joseph] went 935 z8799 into the house 1004 to do 6213 z8800 his business; 4399 and [there was] none x369 x376 of the men 376 y582 x4480 of the house 1004 there x8033 within. x1004

 39:12 And she caught 8610 z8799 him by his garment, 899 saying, 559 z8800 Lie 7901 z8798 with x5973 me: and he left 5800 z8799 his garment 899 in her hand, 3027 and fled, 5127 z8799 and got 3318 z8799 him out. 2351

 39:13 And it came to pass, x1961 when she saw 7200 z8800 that x3588 he had left 5800 z8804 his garment 899 in her hand, 3027 and was fled 5127 z8799 forth, 2351

 39:14 That she called 7121 z8799 unto the men y582 x376 of her house, 1004 and spake 559 z8799 unto them, saying, 559 z8800 See, 7200 z8798 he hath brought in 935 z8689 an Hebrew 376 5680 unto us to mock 6711 z8763 us; he came in 935 z8804 unto x413 me to lie 7901 z8800 with x5973 me, and I cried 7121 z8799 with a loud 1419 voice: 6963

 39:15 And it came to pass, x1961 when he heard 8085 z8800 that x3588 I lifted up 7311 z8689 my voice 6963 and cried, 7121 z8799 that he left 5800 z8799 his garment 899 with x681 me, y681 and fled, 5127 z8799 and got x3318 him y3318 z8799 out. 2351

 39:16 And she laid up y3240 z8686 x5117 his garment 899 by x681 her, y681 until x5704 his lord 113 came 935 z8800 x413 home. 1004

 39:17 And she spake 1696 z8762 unto x413 him according to these x428 words, 1697 saying, 559 z8800 The Hebrew 5680 servant, 5650 which x834 thou hast brought 935 z8689 unto us, came in 935 z8804 unto x413 me to mock 6711 z8763 me:

 39:18 And it came to pass, x1961 as I lifted up 7311 z8687 my voice 6963 and cried, 7121 z8799 that he left 5800 z8799 his garment 899 with x681 me, y681 and fled 5127 z8799 out. 2351

 39:19 And it came to pass, x1961 when his master 113 heard 8085 z8800 x853 the words 1697 of his wife, 802 which x834 she spake 1696 z8765 unto x413 him, saying, 559 z8800 After this x428 manner 1697 did 6213 z8804 thy servant 5650 to me; that his wrath 639 was kindled. 2734 z8799

 39:20 And Joseph's 3130 master 113 took 3947 z8799 him, and put x5414 him y5414 z8799 into x413 the prison, 1004 5470 a place 4725 where x834 the king's 4428 prisoners 615 [were] bound: 631 z8803 and he was x1961 there x8033 in the prison. 1004 5470

 39:21 ¶ But the LORD 3068 was x1961 with x854 Joseph, 3130 and shewed 5186 z8799 x413 him mercy, 2617 and gave 5414 z8799 him favour 2580 in the sight 5869 of the keeper 8269 of the prison. 1004 5470

 39:22 And the keeper 8269 of the prison 1004 5470 committed 5414 z8799 to Joseph's 3130 hand 3027 x853 all x3605 the prisoners 615 that x834 [were] in the prison; 1004 5470 and whatsoever x3605 x834 they did 6213 z8802 there, x8033 he x1931 was x1961 the doer 6213 z8802 [of it].

 39:23 The keeper 8269 of the prison 1004 5470 looked 7200 z8802 not x369 to x853 any thing 3972 x3605 [that was] under his hand; 3027 because x834 the LORD 3068 was with x854 him, and [that] which x834 he x1931 did, 6213 z8802 the LORD 3068 made [it] to prosper. 6743 z8688
