39:1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt;
and Petephres the eunuch ofPharaoh, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian,
bought him of the hands of the Ismaelites, who brought him down thither.
39:2 And Yehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was
in the house with his lord the Egyptian.
39:3 And his master knew that Yehovah was with him, and Yehovah prospers
in his hands whatsoever he happens to do.
39:4 And Joseph found grace in the presence of his lord, and was
well-pleasing to him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he
gave into the hand of Joseph.
39:5 And it came to pass after that he was set over his house, and over all
that he had, that Yehovah blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's
sake; and the blessing of Yehovah was on all his possessions in the house,
and in his field.
39:6 And he committed all that he had into the hands of Joseph; and he knew
not of anything that belonged to him, save the bread which he himself ate.
And Joseph was handsome in form, and exceedingly beautiful in countenance.
39:7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her
eyes upon Joseph, and said, Lie with me.
39:8 But he would not; but said to his master's wife, If because of me my
master knows nothing in his house, and has given into my hands all things
that belong to him:
39:9 and in this house there is nothing above me, nor has anything been kept
back from me, but thou, because thou art his wife-- how then shall I do this
wicked thing, and sin against Elohim?
39:10 And when she talked with Joseph day by day, and he hearkened not to
her to sleep with her, so as to be with her,
39:11 it came to pass on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house to
do his business, and there was no one of the household within.
39:12 And she caught hold of him by his clothes, and said, Lie with me; and
having left his clothes in her hands, he fled, and went forth.
39:13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his clothes in her
hands, and fled, and gone forth,
39:14 that she called those that were in the house, and spoke to them,
saying, See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew servant to mock us-- he came
in to me, saying, Lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
39:15 And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his
clothes with m, he fled, and went forth out.
39:16 So she leaves the clothes by her, until the master came to his house.
39:17 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew
servant, whom thou broughtest in to us, came in to me to mock me, and said
to me, I will lie with thee.
39:18 And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his
clothes with me, he fled and departed forth.
39:19 And it came to pass, when his master heard all the words of his wife,
that she spoke to him, saying, Thus did thy servant to me, that he was very
angry.
39:20 And his master took Joseph, and cast him into the prison, into the
place where the king's prisoners are kept, there in the prison.
39:21 And Yehovah was with Joseph, and poured down mercy upon him; and he
gave him favour in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison.
39:22 And the chief keeper of the prison gave the prison into the hand of
Joseph, and all the prisoners as many as were in the prison; and all things
whatsoever they do there, he did them.
39:23 Because of him the chief keeper of the prison knew nothing, for all
things were in the hand of Joseph, because Yehovah was with him; and
whatever things he did, Yehovah made them to prosper in his hands. |
39:1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt;
and Potiphar, an officer ofPharaohh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian,
bought him of the hands of the Ishmaelites, which had brought him down
thither.
39:2 And Yehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was
in the house of his master the Egyptian.
39:3 And his master saw that Yehovah was with him, and that Yehovah made
all that he did to prosper in his hand.
39:4 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.
39:5 And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his
house, and over all that he had, that Yehovah blessed the Egyptian's house
for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of Yehovah was upon all that he had in
the house, and in the field.
39:6 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 favored.
39:7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her
eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
39:8 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;
39:9 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 Elohim?
39:10 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.
39:11 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.
39:12 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.
39:13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her
hand, and was fled forth,
39:14 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:
39:15 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.
39:16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.
39:17 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:
39:18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left
his garment with me, and fled out.
39:19 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.
39:20 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.
39:21 But Yehovah was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave him favor
in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
39:22 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.
39:23 The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his
hand; because Yehovah was with him, and that which he did, Yehovah made it
to prosper. |
